Door strips and window rubbers would need tooling to be made and the cost of that is way out of my league. If someone does them don't expect the price to be less than someone selling new old stock
exactly that mate, the tooling costs of reproduction parts is very expensive. I shopped around to get my moulds made for saph jack covers which cost me a few grand, one company wanted 20 grand to make the moulds, suffice to say I continued looking around. When I first started selling them I wanted to do them fairly cheap but a well known trader around the ford scene said to me “no come in high to recoup your production costs and there is room further down the line to adjust the price” I’m glad I listened to him, I have got my mind set of other products and the next project the tooling will cost me 5 grand, that’s a fair bit of money and a calculated risk, I’d have to sell a fair few of them before I’d start making any profit.
can you post a shot of the reverse side of your jack cover s please fella
