17" Gotti G1001 Lips & Barrels

[AndrewCross]

I recently bought a set of 17" Gotti G1001 faces to refinish. I've been searching for Gotti lips/barrels and can't find much at all. I've heard somewhere that Schmidt and/or Ronal 30-hole lips/barrels fit, so I emailed Felgen Fuchs for confirmation. They replied, telling me they wouldn't fit. What I'm looking for is 4 17x2.5" lips and 4 17x6.5" barrels. I'd love some input from anyone who has been in a similar position as to what lips and barrels fit. I can't seem to find any information anywhere. Thanks in advance.

[Oh, Word?]

17" Schmidt lips will absolutely work. Barrels on the other hand are extremely hard to come by. Two options really, search and find stock gotti barrels or try and find a company to custom make you some. My friend is in the same predicament he has two cracked barrels and can't find a company to make him new ones. It seems like you'll be changing out all your lips but one thing to keep in mind is if your only changing two is the Schmidt radinox lips have a different shape to them over stock and theyre stainless so they don't look the same as the stock polished lips.

Thank you very much! Yes, I am getting all new lips, as I just have faces currently. Felgen Fuchs has 17" 30-hole Schmidt barrels, is there any reason as to why they won't work?

[Oh, Word?]

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't I've just never seen a 17" Schmidt barrel because most of them are two piece.

Why not get them directly from Gotti?

I've gone on their site before, it doesn't seem like they have 17" lips or barrels

They do, you just have to email. Limited widths though.
