Are there any Steib S250 owners here?

I'm looking for the answers I have concerning a Steib S250 sidecar... and possibly source a missing trim piece.
I am aware of the Distributors who sell new parts...just have a couple of questions.

Any help appreciated

Thank you

I am heading to Rhinebeck, NY on the 30th.... possibility to meet up there too..

For anyone that has attended... is there a possibility that I may find a sidecar there? Or is the majority of the swap meet geared towards "American" bikes/oarts/accessories?
