'59 Kodiak Side Plate Replacement
« on: April 14, 2012, 11:34:00 AM »
Does anyone know where I can get a 5 line leather side plate for my Big River '59 Kodiak? Thanks.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

3 rivers has them but they are vinyl - yecc. Trap who posts on here has some real leather and someone else does too. Perhaps they will see this post.

You can cut it out with a razor plade and straight edge, round the corners, and rub the lines with a hard plastic object that will produce a straight line.

They are very easy to make! Take a look at bd's 101. 3 R's are a very poor example and not worth the money other then as a template.
