I can't see the point in making the rears if they are made from the same material, and I doubt you could beat the current price anyway, but if you could make them from more flexible (silicone?) rubber then I would like some.

I am always afraid the rubber is going to snap off because they are so inflexible (even when new).

To me, the fronts seem fine in stock form as long as they are not 20 years old brittle. They can flex quite a bit without breaking when they are relatively new.

The front clips appear to be nylon. If so, soak them in hot water every once in a while. The nylon is hydroscopic and will absorb some water. Water actually makes them stronger.

We make nylon ice scraper blades. Dry the nylon very well before molding, then soak in water for a day after molding. What fun.

I'd be up for some. Those pieces are lower on my list of things I need, but if the price is right...

(Of course I'm a cheap bastard)

I'll have samples on Monday.... they are being made of a softer material than the front pieces and harder than the rear.

It has a 300 lbs per liner inch tear strenght and will take a 600% elongation before breaking.

Looks good so far. I had a chance to play with the material they will be made of today.

I'll have one of each (one front and one of each rear, left & right) to play with.

Will post Andyesque pictures when I get them.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
