[MC-71]

How many members want one of the rear bumper pads that go on the 71 SS. Please answer on this post if you are interested.

Hi Carl....you KNOW I want one

[LostnFound]

Sounds to me that Precision is going to reproduce them but they might be a little more expensive this time.

[willie]

Carl, do we have an about price?

[Sam (Bones)]

I might want one, depending on price, i have bumper guards now, but considering replacing rear bumper and then I would want one

[LostnFound]

Sounds to me that they may be closer to around $300 this time but let's wait and see.

[MC-71]

Willie, Myself and Larry are both working on getting these made again. Larry has talked to the President of Precision and I'm talking to a vendor who will sell them. I have no idea about the price but Larry has a good idea. Keep in tune with this and it will happen. Maybe a group deal. We will see.

[wallaby]

I'm due for one as well, but the wallet makes the decisions.

[willie]

I am in for a group deal.

Keep us posted.

Thanks Carl and Larry

[ILUVMYMONTE]

I'm due for one as well, but the wallet makes the decisions.

I will take 1 or maybe 2..

 

I think I must have gotten one of the last few for $195 a few years ago

 

[Monteman1971]

I'm in for one depending on the price....

check with me , possible 20

 

Leo

[jstadter]

I'd be interested in one. My original has the infamous rust around the attaching bolts.

[MC-71]

Okay Leo. How soon and how much? Thanks.

[LostnFound]

Leo....you are getting some? When and how much?

Thanks,

Larry

[ripleydale]

I think Leo is telling you he is interested in purchasing 20 of them, I don't think he has 20 to sell. I think I might have claimed his last one a year or two back.

[LostnFound]

Thanks Kelly....that makes more sense.

Leo....if you want 20 plus what the rest of us want, I had better let this guy know so that he does enough of them.

It would be a shame if they are reproduced without using stainless steel hardware. I am interested in one, if the price is within reach and stainless is used.

Count me in for one; my bumper pad's a total mess.

 

Also, I apologize for my forum ineptitude, but could you steer me to the best posts on roof replacement? My roof is the typical swiss cheese due to vinyl top and I need to decide if a skin is the way to go or total roof replacement by slicing the A and C pillars of my and the donor car. I'll be doing the work myself.

 

Thanks!

HERE IS A BUMPER PAD ON EBAY!!!

[tanzilla]

joparts doesn't mention whether the ebay auction is an original or repro pad, although if a repro, it's about half of what the parts place 'last one' costs.

 

Any update on the new repro pads?

[LostnFound]

The guy looking at reproducing the bumper pads is still thinking about it and hasn't committed to reproducing them yet.

I don't understand how someone has a mold for something, and it mysteriously dissappears??? Someone invested all that $$ into making a new mold for this part 10 years ago or whenever it came out. Wait to make the part when you get orders for it, I understand its not highly in demand.
