they were not available over 7 years ago. What makes you think you can buy some know? The best you can hope for is to find a set in a Z in a bone yard somewhere. I haven't seen a early Z in a wrecking yard in years. Good luck.

A guy here in Oz has reproduced these.

I actually own some but they are at my sons' house and I haven't seen them yet.

The Vendor has spent a LOT of time and effort to produce a quality item.

Anyone want further information;)

He don't want to mass produce them, as far as i'm aware of, i made him a offer to spread the word in Europe and he said no thanks.

I plan to extract mine out of Project 3/72 and clean them real good and reuse them. This is where water leaks in and causes the corner above the tail light on the corresponding side to rot out as well as anything else that got wet from water intrusion. If you seal them well you should have no problem.

Yes, I can do some measuring for you.

While I am not disputing what you suggest, bear in mind the guy who is producing these has spent a LOT of time perfecting the moulds and material.

If you can do it in RTV, good job, but I'm sure it won't be easy to produce a boot with the correct thickness and strength to handle the wear and tear of the hinge movement.
