Ollie & Roger - thanks for the endorsement! Very glad you are happy with them. These are not glamour parts for the Ramblers - but if you're rebuilding that area of your car - you really want to have one on the shelf to put on with the re-assembly as the original grommets are usually shot. It took me decades to locate an NOS one, and after finding it through Brent Havecost, I was having a hard time dealing with putting it on the car and not doing something to help the rest of the hobby out there that I knew was going to struggle locating this little gem of a part. We did our best on limiting the impact of a compromise tool to keep costs low. These type items can tend to get expensive to do not because of the per part cost of manufacture - but due to the tooling investment. I think a reasonable balance on this one was achieved for what it does and what you see of it. I will try to have these on stock as long as the tool holds out, but as with all reproduction parts - the best rule of thumb is to buy them when they come out as they can go obsolete like the NOS parts do without notice. ------------- Kevin Shope 1964 Classic 660 https://theamcforum.com/forum/rare-ragtop-rogue-refurb_topic112071.html" rel="nofollow - 67 Rogue 290-4V 4spd Conv A-Scheme SC/Rambler (69 SC JOURNEY) |

Attention: I have (10) of these left from the first production run. They have moved much slower than they should have considering the usage across all 64 - 69 Americans, and depending on how the last of these go, I may or may not decide to end the project. I would like to at least consider a 1/2 order beyond these to retain some for future needs, but we'll see. If you have an American, you should have one waiting for a front cable changeout down the road. ------------- Kevin Shope 1964 Classic 660 https://theamcforum.com/forum/rare-ragtop-rogue-refurb_topic112071.html" rel="nofollow - 67 Rogue 290-4V 4spd Conv A-Scheme SC/Rambler (69 SC JOURNEY) |

I am out of these now. None left to sell unless there is an outcry that hasn't happened yet to make me want to do a second run. These should have been selling like hotcakes but I guess too few have changed a front ebrake cable yet to understand why they needed to be all over these.... ------------- Kevin Shope 1964 Classic 660 https://theamcforum.com/forum/rare-ragtop-rogue-refurb_topic112071.html" rel="nofollow - 67 Rogue 290-4V 4spd Conv A-Scheme SC/Rambler (69 SC JOURNEY) |

I had a small remaining lot with me at Auburn. I think I might have one or two left and then that is ALL. No more to be made then. I will check tomorrow and let you know. ------------- Kevin Shope 1964 Classic 660 https://theamcforum.com/forum/rare-ragtop-rogue-refurb_topic112071.html" rel="nofollow - 67 Rogue 290-4V 4spd Conv A-Scheme SC/Rambler (69 SC JOURNEY) |

Jeff, I have just ONE left right now. I am PM'ing you with photo and some other info in a moment. This will be the last of this reproduction - very few saw the value in it. So I guess we move onto something else and let everyone else fend for themselves when they finally do the work on their car and see what they missed out on... ------------- Kevin Shope 1964 Classic 660 https://theamcforum.com/forum/rare-ragtop-rogue-refurb_topic112071.html" rel="nofollow - 67 Rogue 290-4V 4spd Conv A-Scheme SC/Rambler (69 SC JOURNEY) |
