I would imagine they are still in business. They are notoriously slow or inconsistent to reply to a phone message or email. Just the way they are. Their website is still up. Maybe call at different times to catch them?
As far as the fiber tack strip is concerned I used them on my 21 Touring and they worked OK.
I followed the instruction sheet Fordwood provided. Clamp the strip on one end to the seat panel and use a heat gun to slowly heat the strip as you form it to the curvature and as you go around the seat panel. Use the tack strip bolts where needed and smaller screws where necessary. I purchased the correct tack tack strip bolts that are used at the top bow supports and elsewhere from Snyder’s. They almost if not we’re the correct match to the originals.
