BX24 hood cost?

[meddac]

Any idea what the plastic hood costs for a 2007 BX24 and who has one. I got up close and personal with a log. The crappy hood didn't take the hit well. Next time I'll avoid sling loading anything as I know this is gonna cost me some bucks.
Thanks

According to Messick's website the part # is K2581-54110 which is superceded to K2581-54113 and the cost is $201.95 and they have 0 in stock. Golden Eagle Direct has it on their website for $200.95.

Just a thought -

Does the BX25 hood fit the BX24?
Just thought I would throw that out there as a option if you did not want a plastic hood again.

If you find out, let me know.

Good luck,
Douce

I think we're still waiting for our first volunteer from this site to try it. I think we should talk Messicks into it, because if it does fit, he'd probably get loads of orders from people who don't like the junky plastic.

And if you drop something on metal hood the outcome is a crinkled metal hood. I've dropped wood on my plastic one and it bounced right back, nary a scratch. Personally one vs the other is a wash.

I have thought that very same thing. One dents, one might crack. 6 of one, half dozen of another...

I need/like/want something ferrous for magnetic things. Also, something I can drill and screw sheet metal screws into without the risk of spider web cracks. But, to each his own, for sure.
