I contacted Carl Rudolph several months ago. It took some persistence to get a response but he said he wasn't doing any at that time, but made it sound like he would be again soon...so????????

I would not hold my breath for anything from them. Here is the response I received a year ago on March 22, 2022.

"Thank you for your inquiry into our 914 Bumper Pads. Unfortunately, we are out of product at the moment and are rebuilding stock at this time. It will be at least 1 month before we have product available for sale. We will notify you when stock is available again. Pre-pay is not necessary.

Kind Regards,

Carl Rudolph Co."



They never got back to me. I had even offered to pre-pay. I even randomly attempted to order with their PayPal set up over 6 months in the event they forgot about me - nothing.

I don't believe they are making these parts anymore. Your experience reinforces that.

Maybe they've retired from the side gig or are not physically able to make them anymore. I don't understand why they don't take down the website - then they wouldn't have to respond to repeated requests from us and give us false hopes. Too bad, everyone who actually has their product gives it very high praises.
