I've been asked by a few of of you to look into making these. The tooling is not inexpensive, but there apears to be a need to produce these. We're making some improvements, all the metal in the bumper will be stainless. We will also provide the nuts with nylon lock nuts. The rubber will be slighly harder. I will have the first samples in about 4-5 weeks. Production will be about 2 weeks after.
These sell at $335. Pictures of the parts will be posted as soon as they're ready. More pictures added on page 3 also. Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

Well here's the update. Things are going well, The rubber tooling has been completed. I didn't even have the substructure back from the machine shop yet. Wow, that was fast! I had to fab up a part quickly to take down for molding. It isn't as pretty at the final product as there were weld marks on the stainless ( the production ones will be polished. I'm tools the article for approval will be done on Friday, so I will be posting pictures.
I appreciate all the support I have recieved so far, but if this work out the way I hope, we will be doing tooling for a solid rubber dash top. The OEM one had vinyl vaccume formed around a foam rubber and steel sub-structure. The new one would be a solid rubber, and we could emulate the same factory pattern. This is a way out as it will be a while before I can recoupe what I've got into these, but your support enables me to continue down this path. -Mark AKA mikey 914 |
