Mike,   If those are for the Challenger, get the small size if they still offer 2 sizes - I don't think anyone active on here has tried them yet.   EDMO

They worked great on my challenger.

You can still get them direct from Kitfox as well.  What did you end up going with?  Still need to get a set for mine, prefer clip on if able.  I received some uflyit samples bit they are slip on and require splitting or sectioning so am looking at other options.

one note of advice.... the wood fairings are STRUCTUAL and are needed on the original struts.  Unless you beef up the strut, I would not go to the clip on fairings.  I beefed my struts up to 1" X .058" tubing when I pulled the wood fairings off and went to the plastic ones.  I did not do any engineering on them other than figured if they worked for the newer KF they would be fine on mine.

If you still have the original flimsy struts they need the wood fairings glued on to get the compression strength.
