Re: almost there
Hello Glen, Thanks! Look forward to join the GPA ranks next summer.
Curently am preparing it for road registration.
The brakes must be perfect...so no swimming anymore untill technical control is passed.
All the best,

Re: almost there
Thanks Bob!
Question: Are the small clips that keeps the lifting rings in place reproduced?
If so, who sell's them?
I also need both rope guide plates for the front lifting rings...
Did the GPA came from the factory with a rope for the winch?

Luc

Re: almost there
Great ! Congratulations Luc.
Yes, GPA were delivered with two ropes - one for the capstan and the other one for emergency towing use - and also with a flash light and even ... a sponge ...
By the way, I'm also looking for the small lifting rings clips ...
Hope to see you soon.
