Hatch sill replacements

A couple of higher res shots of the plate.

I think that is an outragous price to pay, but the guy making them is probably putting a great deal of time into each one and then the middle man gets to bend you over. That's what happens when there is no competition. OUCH! Bob, .91 USD, that sounds like a PayPal rate. Your getting gang raped. Try paying with Visa, to save at least a couple of bucks. Good thing you bought the '73 before our dollar took a dive.

Just got under the wire with the car and the shipping - both in USD.

Wow-what a bite in the wallet for such a simple part!

I will look into having them made, and pulling all the good ones out of my parts cars before they take their last ride...

Originality aside, if there ever was a candidate for a fiberglass replacement piece, this would be near the top of the list. Also, a fiberglass battery tray area panel would be a great idea, I think. With the new panel bonding adhesives available today, these repairs could be carried out by anyone who is capable of following simple instruction. No special tools would be needed. Cheaper & easier is a good combination...we just need someone to take on the challenge.

I plan to keep it for now. Hopefully Will can get some new repros made. It sounds like he has a couple NOS ones to use as a master, but if needed I would offer mine up for that.

Does anybody know what the replacement procedure is? Can somebody synopsize? Mine could either use a replacement or patching ( depending what's under those two blobs of rubber 'patch' I see there.) :paranoid:
