Since I've had several requests, I thought I'd see who else would be interested in a Rocker Panel Hardware Kit. May turn into a GB.

You would get everything except the rivets (another member here makes those) or the spacers.

Instructions, heat sealed, the usual. Yellow plate and Stainless steel.

Estimated price $10-$12 per kit. (1) kit does (2) rocker panels.

Who needs a kit?

Seems like a "kit" should include everything needed, the "hardware" can be found at most good hardware stores, the rivets and spacers are the harder items to find.

I would be interested. As long as everything is as OEM as possible.

Yep, everything is as OEM as possible.

Another member makes the NLA rivets, you can find them in the Member's Vendor section or ask around.

I'm trying to keep both kits at equal pricing, but one piece in stainless is going to be silly expensive compared to the yellow plate. However, it won't go over the high end of the estimate.

I'm in. I'd like to see the spacers in the kit. Even a full kit including the rivets. Sounds like you know where to find them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I agree with other posters. Why not work with the "other" vendor and put together a package?

I will always pay a little extra for convenience. However, if I have to do the legwork then I'll source everything myself and save money.

That's just human nature (and marketing 101)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know the basics of the rubber spacer, I just need some volunteers to send in about (5) of them to get measurements off of so I can get them made.



I'm going to hunt down the rivet man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

I'd also be interested in at least one set (enough to do one car) ... possibly two

Probably, but I'd like to know what's in the kits, as opposed to what's left out. I have more repro rivets than I know what to do with...

Maybe I'll finally take the rockers off the 2.0 and see.
