Purchased set of polished alum pocket trim, but expensive. Seller list them on ebay on occasion. Believe there is a FTE member who makes the polished alum. trim. There's also is company, believe located in Canada, reconditions them, but again pricey. Spoke with owner who described how to repair working with fiber glass. Suggest run a search in this forum under 'pocket trim' or simular, Recall both member(s) recommending the trim reconditioning shop, and member who makes the polished alum trim responded to the topic.

Made several attempts to post the url address but could not get it to link up, not sure if the web site is any good. Ran a search and under to '61-66 forum' and narrowed field to 'title' and came up with a 10/2/05 article posted by member truchfuego titled "door pocket part number". If you open up the thread there will be a referral posted that will take you to an email address. I can email and inquire if unable to locate.

These are the billit ones I was looking for. http://www.mongrelmotorsports.homest.../products.html
They look great but are $200 for a set. Pretty expensive but I will probably get them because they are very nice looking and I won't have to worry about the crappy plastic ones breaking again.

No, they aren't cheap, but you have to remember that these are being made on a small scale. The raw material costs what it does, and the whole center after it's cut out is currently 'waste' until the maker can come up with something else to cut out of it.
I know the maker personally, and trust me, he's not been getting rich making those. It took him a year just to recover the up-front investment.
Still better than the crappy plastic ones you just know are gonna fall apart!
