Meditz(rotarydave) and I have both checked into having some (or all) of it reproduced, but the dies are upwards of $10k per part to have them made. Then you have to find an extrusion company (like Steele) to run the dies for you... Only luck is to keep an eye on eBay for someone selling NOS bits they have had stashed away for years or wait for the folks in Bangkok to knock them off.


Neal.

Steele wants absolutely nothing to do with this project at this time their thought no money in it. There is the possiblity of small companies that might be able to do them where it is a molded rubber piece but this is a rather crude way of doing it. As for ebay... I RECOMMEND IF IT HAS BUY IT NOW USE IT, or you run the risk of coming up against Neal and I bidding against you for it. Nothing personal I have 8 Cosmos in my collection so rubber is very important to me, Neal and I argue over parts all the time but have managed to remain friends so far, even though we sometimes frustrate each other.
