oh thats not too bad, can you buy them brand new still? Try getting a cost on getting good quality repros made. Ive looked at getting rubber stuff made before a lot simple than those caps and some places want $1000 + USD for tooling/set ups and minimum order of 200 or more.

Funny thing is if I had money right now I would buy them.  They are rare as far as I can tell.
Of course after buying them I would copy them and sell them for slightly less  ;D

You'd be spewing wouldn't you. I can imagine some guy trying to stop the next race from starting so he could scour the track for his $100 chair leg rubber :D

BTW, great avatar freaky, or are you now known as the ayatollah of rock and rollah?
