Russell,

I don't know of anyone who's making Flavia Coupé wings, but you can find sills and floors at Biondi Lamierati http://www.biondilamierati.com/

If you don't have luck buying them an alternative for the sills is to take measurements from the car, length and radius - make a strap model of the radius if it's irregular - and have a metal shop roll or break the shape for you. I've done that for an Aurelia B21. You can also make up substitutes for the structural stuff inside the sill if that's shot too.

thx for info - as it happens the italian connection fizzled out (guessing they didnt have any left in stock and weren't prepared to make a single pair) - Omicron said they needed the car which is partly dismantled to do the fitting and transport there and back was beyond my pocket, so I cut out a cross section of the sill and to took it to a fabricator who was able to roll out 2 x 2m lengths of the radius which we will fit to a stock foot plate with a lap weld and see if that improves on whats there (which seems to have several layers so weight reduction will be an added bonus). I know that purists will be able to spot the non standard stuff but I wasnt aiming for concours standards in the first place. Looking forward to making it work - ideally I would like tech drawings of the body work to help with reassembly, any ideas on that score would be appreciated.
