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.

If tooling is not owned by George. I wonder if there was any stipulation by George to prohibit any outside sales for a specified period of time?

Harrington Group has always offered their 914 bumpers for sale on their site. Nothing is noted that it is an AA owned product. Call them or email. They are happy to sell their product to individuals. Mark H was having molds made to spec. That's why it was taking a while. |

you are correct. When we first contacted them about purchasing their bumpers, they said that they only made them once a year, but if I wanted to pay for my own tooling, they would make them exclusively for me from my tools and I could get as many as I wanted. That is what I did, Yes they still sell from their tooling, but they do many other bumpers so could not provide the quantity I wanted.
To say the least the whole thing seems shaky to me, but I now have been dealing with them for several years and always get my bumper supply from them and my tooling makes perfect fit bumpers. I would actually like to know the real story about what goes on over there If tooling is not owned by George.
