Drip cap - Where's it at?

[Frank's Trailer Works]

Anyone know where I can get one of these drip caps? It is 46" long.

Is there a early 60's parts trailer out there that wants to help me with my project?

44 inch and 48 inch are available.

For a custom size, some owners cut the drip cap in half, overlap it, and rivet it back together, with a bead of sealer between the two pieces.

I know that cutting and spicing a new one is an option, however I do not like the idea of a splice in such a prominent location. I have contacted Vintage Trailer Supply, Airstream, and every RV salvage company I can find info on... I am striking out every where I turn. I have found longer new stock, or shorter, but not 46". Someone out there has a pre 1963 trailer that will never see the road again... Common help a brother out here.

Between the "A" and the "T" Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

The question was, "Where's it at?"

Care to share these supply sources? I need some of it for a couple of trailers and have struck out.

Thanks, TB

I have this link Moldings & Drip Caps at RVShop.com
See 44" then 48". Inland Andy has the same lengths. I need one that is 46" end to end. My 62 Overlander cannot have that unique of a window.

Here in Baltimore we say "wearz it at". It is used for everything from trailer parts to steamed crabs. Sorry I forgot the post-tro-fee.

I have been a good little Airstreamer this year and I sure hope Santa comes through.

NTP is a little to general can you narrow down the search.

Thanks 62 -- looks like they have decent prices too.

I am not allowed to give karma too often, the program says I have to spread it around... But, Ed,... Huge karma to you!!! Airstream Karma to you!!!

For those that are a little slow, Ed has my drip cap. He knew I would need one and he bought an extra one for me when Vintage Trailer Supply had them in stock a year ago(I have owned Anna 4 months now, it is so auspicious). You folks have no idea how relieved I am now. I feel like I have won the lotto.

If anyone out there can, please send Ed, aka n2batr some karma. He has the true Airstream spirit. Wally would be very proud of you Ed.

I told you I am slow... I just got it. Must have been that Reagan Zap at the bottom of your tag that kept me from understanding... Remember his wife's campaign? "just say no"... that was a huge success....

Frank, Thanks for the praises. Glad I could help out a fellow airstreamer. Your drip cap is on its way! Great job with your renovation so far. Ed

From the linked image properties I came up with THIS

If you search "drip cap" you will find that they have lengths in increments of 2-4 inches from 20" to 86"

Very true.

But the fact is, "no one" has a new 46 inch drip cap.

A larger one can be installed, but some owners insist on the 46 inch drip cap.

It won't happen.

Hmmmm. . . .

The NTP website only has listed the 44" and 48". But there is a missing part number in the sequence between the two sizes. I wonder if you ordered P/N 20-0767 would they send you a 46" drip cap?

Nope.

NTP does not have any such stock number.
