Is there more than one source for side marker base?, Need a side marker base and only option is expensive.... Options

[second wind]

Hello.....I need a side marker base and I go to 914 Rubber and their only offering is a $46 Auto Atlanta part. I thought 914 Rubber competes with AA so the prices can be more competitive? Did I miss their product offering? Are there any alternatives to the AA part? Just asking.....
Thank you,

Both are loyal 914 people and yes $46 just think of the cost to make a batch (100) and it takes 5 years to sell them. I’m glad there are good people out there making the parts. Imagine Porsche making it for $149. These are not Fords or even VW parts.

I remember when Mid-America Motorsports got out of the Porsche business they tried to sell us their left over inventory. One of the things that stuck me was how many of an item they had. Many times it was some knob or switch that they made because people "had to have it" and there were 937 in inventory. My guess would be they made 1000 and if on dozens of items they still had over 900 years later, that is not good business. Anyone who makes repro parts should be thanked, and thanked again, because for the one item that does sell well, two do not, and they eat it, like Mid-America did.

I agree 100%. George sells some of my stuff and I sell some of Mareks parts and sometimes even some 914rubber or AA parts.. I am as small of a company as there is. Work out my garage now and what keeps us all going is eachother.. I will tell you that I take no offense to the OP s post but I was not mentioned.
