I have a connection in Vietnam that can facilitate the purchase of these at a good price. I wanted to get Mark Henery's blessing on this before proceeding but if his deal is dead we would like to put together a GB on these. So pending Mark's response I've posted. We will not make you buy the rubber tops but will offer a discount on them as incentive to help push the thread. Specifics will be pending response from Mark.

we have and will always have plenty of these stainless bumpers on the shelf. We have them in front and rear without holes for bumper guards and also the rear early 70 style. We have long ago paid for the tooling for our exclusive perfect fit harrington product, as well as having perfect fit front and rear bumper guards and bumper top seals and the license plates that go in them.
We do not make the bumpers in the the GT variety, although we have made several of them over the years from standard chrome bumpers. The tooling was costly, the bumpers are costly, the shipping from vietnam is costly, the import duty is costly |

The tooling was costly, the bumpers are costly, the shipping from vietnam is costly, the import duty is costly Im not trying to start a dog fight here, nor do I have any interest in the matter, but if George has in fact paid for the tooling, then we have to respect that they should be exclusive to him. Why the manufacturer in Vietnam would sell them to someone else? that isn't ethical. I am only saying this because tooling costs are huge. Im sure if anyone would have these tools made properly they would cost over 100k. I know I would not want to have someone sell my product that I've paid for. That is in fact if George does own the tooling. Pete |

I'm awaiting word from Mark Henry to see where he stands. |
