I was actually thinking of fabricating replacement shrouds myself
(they look fairly straight-forward, and I'm a passable sheet metal
guy).

The aft cover for the RH side would take a little more head-scratching
to do, but it still looks doable.

Would make for a good winter-time project when I don't have
other things to work on (like when would that be...???!!!). :lol:

Yeah, the "alligator" mouth is a challenge. The front, for all I can tell, is little more than a canning-funnel. :lol:
