Nobody currently. Fiberlyte would be the only one left still around and I’m quite sure they said no more

Were there others than FL and Fusion anyway?

(and this is one of the projects in the pipeline btw... FL tub, all CWF parts where possible including Jirka's somewhat odd-looking motor plate, then only polished alloy (inc. rims) and black plastics for the rest... if only I had the time to get started...)
