We have been working on these for some time they are not quite ready but are now eminent. We need at least 10 takers to make this work.

Parts we will be including are new plugs that go on the body because if you remove these (it they are even there) they are most likely to fall apart.

The front and rear bars in polished 316 grade stainless. We will also include new leather straps. These will be true reproductions.

The rubber base isolation pads will also be included.

We will offer another version that I will detail more on later.

The issue is I don’t have costing done on these yet. I’m going to be able to have it shortly But for now the number will be somewhere in the $200-$300 range. The more I can make the better it gets. If I’m wrong and there is more demand we can do better on price, so for now I’m trying to gauge the market.

Who is interested in a set?

102 is starting to feel down right chilly, I think we have had 36 days of over 110 so far. This summer has just been brutal starting the first week of May hitting 105. Usually the heat hitting hard in early May gives us a mild summer, not this year.

ah, hello, ... you chose to live in a desert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) deserts are.... well, HOT!
that would be like me complaining of our 98degrees and 90%humidity in August in coastal South Carolina or Florida , btw i’ve been out there many times and i would take 110 and 20% humidity over 98 and 90% humidity, but i can complain too much it it what it is, and it is what i knew it was when we moved here..... beats Minnesota winters!

We solved the high temperatures by a 40 minute drive over the hill to the coast for some Pleasant 70 to 75° weather as we camp at the beach. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

nice!! i can get that 70’degree weather as well but it’s a 4-5 hour drive to the mountains of western NC! actually looking at a summer cabin in Banner Elk NC for that reason, for retirement (summer anyway) their current temp now is 74 and was 56 this morning! ours not too bad, 78 this morning 89 now. lots of rain recently so that has kept to manageable, but my next project is AC in the garage and Spray foam on roof of garage, just too humid to work much on the car in summer it’s instant sweat, even at night!
