What is a Floating Front Cap, I recently bought a 1987 Mallard 29 FK model, the company went out of business for some reason, appears Heartland bought the name rights to Mallard, probably nobody makes original Mallard parts, I am restoring my Mallard too reasonably good condition, My Front Panel MALLARD flip up cover is cracked after 36 years of wear and tear...good luck with your Mallard...
