Need help locating TBM part

[Charlie Cartledge]

If anyone knows of secret source of TBM parts let me know.I have spent 10 years gathering missing parts for my TBM restoration.I have most of the parts except I am missing the fairing between vertical fin and fuselage.I have tried to reproduce one but not much luck yet.If any of you guys and gals could do a little searching it would sure be appreciated.I keep thinking maybe someone out there has one hanging in the ceiling!Here are the ones that I know don't have one:Harland Avezzie,Forest Protection,Vince Oconnor,Pacific Fighters,Mike Rawson.Any leads would be great,I am getting ready to paint the fuselage and would like to "fit the fairing"to the fuselage before painting. Thank You, Charlie Cartledge

Charlie,
IMO, paint the plane with the panels and fairings removed, that way when you do remove them later for inspections, you will not have to try and line up panels., So even if you don't have a fairing, go ahead and paint.
