Is there any interest in them? I know they are fairly common to crack/brake. They have been obsoleted for a bunch of years now.

I am in the works with a guy to make new ones from a better quality plastic and all one piece. I can get them cheaper, If he makes more. Just trying to get a feel for the "need" on these

 

You have the same idea I do . I'm very interested. I have a guy working on the same thing here in cali. What are you looking at for price

 

Not quite sure yet. I have talked with the guy several times, but He needs to see the piece and figure out how long it would take to put in his computer. Hopefully next week I can take him one of my spares to look over.

I am still looking for a power mirror one as well for measurement purposes too

 

I can send you a picture next to a tape measure in a couple hours if you want. How is he going to do it. The guy I was talking to was going yo blow mold them. I was talking to another guy about cutting them out aluminum

 

It would be CNC machined out of one solid piece of plastic

 

I never got a price back on the aluminum ones but I was thinking kind of expensive after labor material and anodizing

 

Yeah, I am hoping to keep it under $100

 

Exactly if I have the piece blow molded I'm either at a high price point and lower qty. Or low price point high qty.

 

BUMP I can't believe there is nobody else that needs one of these. ANYBODY ANYBODY

 

I am sure a lot of people think $100 is too much for an obsolete piece that was only made 3 years

 

A lot of people may not understand wholesale. It's like the printing business the more pieces the cheaper the per piece is. Wait another 50 years when these are true classics like my dad's 41 and then they would think 100. Is pretty cheap.

 

Don't quote me, but IIRC the original Ford pieces was over $70 when available

 

Count me in.

 

That's why they aren't available now everybody probably cried about the price. Now they can see where that got them. But realistically for a major manufacturer to charge that much is a little steep.

 

Not necessarily. They usually have an outside company make them, and if only 1% of the 92-97 F-Series trucks had those bezels, that's a hefty price they need to pay to have them made for them.
