Alison, I ran into a similar problem with my pans. The list suggested that modifying Giha pans might work. I didn't feel like exploring something that might work. I had asked about the fiberglass pans from Innovations in Fiberglass , & was advised to stay away from them due to lack of strength. I called Bill & Steve's per a recommendation from the list & they sell pans in quarters. $65.00 per quarter for the front & $45.00 per quarter for the rear. I have decided to go this way.
