Thanks

Default Peter Klabo?????

Might be Peter.

Lifted this info straight off the post by mkeafer. Try this:

Peter Klabo with Ventures Unlimited in Oregon. The number there is: 503-665-4644.

If you have no luck on this, just maybe I can help out. There is a guy here in Australia who produces lenses mainly for MOPAR but from what I understand, his work is equal to, if not better than factory originals. I think he does a few other lenses so maybe he might do a run on these. I have some samples he could copy.

NO IDEA of costs though or even if he will run them. Still, it might be worth a shot if you can't find a local guy.

The lenses Id love to see re-made are the clear backup light lenses
that are 64 GP only.. Need a driver side but would love
to find good replacements for both sides..

I love 1 year only, 1 model only parts

Default I never followed this up.....

That first post dated back to September last year and as no one asked me, I didn't follow through on it.

But I will now

And as far as the '64 GP lenses go, I'd have to ask about that too. Plus I'm sure he would need a sample.

Good friend of mine here bought a '69 Imperial Crown Southampton a couple of years ago. Beautiful car in amazing condition but it had broken back up lenses. So Carl got onto a Chrysler web site asking about replacements and he was told the best supplier in the world is right here in Australia.

He subsequently ordered a set and he is wrapt in them. He says BETTER than original. I don't know about that but I can tell you my mate is so fussy he's anal about things so if he's happy, I reckon they must be good.

I'll look into it

Ian

FWIW I think these are the same for a LOT of years. '63-'66 in particular.
