SS Hockey Sticks

I have got several responses but that above is the last I heard sounds like they're getting close.

Now available from the parts place

Leo has a set up on eBay right now for $350

They’re not original.  They were well made by a good craftsman.

I have a set of those stainless ones on my red car from years back made by Larry. He sold them on eBay for 350 way back then but I bought a set for 175 which was the club member price.

Anybody seen the ones from The Parts Place in person? I have my originals that I might rechrome but wondering about the quality of the repops

[Jared Richey]

Bob Lyman just posted in another thread here on the forum they are better than GM.

I received mine today. They are a very nice Reproduction. So nice I ordered another set because PP offered a 10% Black Friday Discount.

Don't know if the studs are in the correct place. Can't get to my Monte because it's in storage in Connecticut. I'm a Florida resident now.

Now I can't find the other thread about these parts. Where is it?

Dan, I believe the thread you are looking for is in Cars and Parts for sale Leads section.

Here are the new and original together. All the pictures are the same side. The new ones are a little shorter on the trunk edge. My originals have pins in different spots between the sides. The new ones are identical to each other and in different spots than originals. 

[1970mcss]

One would think that they would have put the studs in the same spot

[MC1of80]

Most likely they put the studs closer due to it being easier to drill the caps and mount the trim to them. 

[Nancy Hanson]

I hope the radius is correct. That would be the biggest problem in drawing them in for fit. Could you post a picture with them on top of each other.

Thanks

Carl

Here you go Carl. The original is in the bottom of course. I would say GM definitely put a pin toward the corner to help it pull in on the curve. 

[Nancy Hanson]

Thanks Terry. I think they will work. Good pictures.

They just can not get anything quite right.

Due to certain copyright laws they may not be allowed to make exact copies. Maybe.

My thoughts exactly .

To drill or not to drill, got new hockey sticks from parts place.. 69$..nice but any other suggestions other than drilling holes in my taillight housing?..?.. a template would have been nice with the replacements.. I surely don’t want to Guess where to drill.. 

[70white402]

Gotta measure from the end to middle of pin and correspond to the housing.  Only way to do it.

[Ron Tevis]

Sounds like a good idea, if they are same length to the curve as the old one I’ll be ok 👍🏻..thanks

It appears they are not the same length as the original ones based on Kelly’s posts above.

Other than drilling new holes, cut off the studs on the new trim pieces and double adhesive tape them on. Pretty much the only 2 choices. 🤔
