Chris, I found out that there really are no absolute answers on how to do it. Most folks buy wheel pants from a variety of different suppliers. Aircraft Spruce is just one of them. Some folks get one pant/fairing and make molds and copies of them themselves for the other legs. Some people make them completely from scratch. They can be split vertically or horizontally or not at all. The inside wheel fairings (that cover the brakes) are all made from scratch. Steve Glover showed us a relatively easy way to make them using ordinary window screen. You hot glue to screen to the leg, wheel, etc to get the form, then fiberglass over it. Glenda's web site has some good photos of Steve's method on her site.
