    Every time I need one nobody is making them. It seems people make a run then stop. So here we go. I have an original to make them from. I have secured a chrome shop to get them chromed as well. I just got the cnc drawings back and within a few weeks I will have the first run ready to chrome up. And then sell. I do not have the costs finished yet but having about 50 made on the first run.
    I am not taking orders on them until I have them into the chrome shop.
    So here we go. If you are interested in one or two put your name here.

    I polished one of my prototype ones. They are real close and the next batch will be what it needs to be. I just polished this one to see it shine.

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    Nice looking part. I would think some people would be fine with it not being chrome to save a little money. Just a thought.

    As for those who want a perfect repop. stand by. These were made to make sure that the tooling was correct. I will be calling these my test run to put everything in place to get the final product. While even these will be sold to those who just want something once we get into full blown production the correct look will prevail.

    I'll add my name to the list for one as well. I have a knob but a spare can't hurt. Plus anyone willing to reproduce 67 parts deserves all the support they can get!

    Put me down for one as well. I'm following Jacob's lead here, I'll buy one as a spare just to support a guy that is willing to reproduce a '67 GS part.
