Thanks for all the nice comments. If I find some reflectors I'll let you know. Seems like a business opportunity. How hard could they be to make. Hey Rodney, where are you in CO? I'm in Bend.

That's a sweet looking 69. Gotta love them genny shovels.

Also, if your interested in a set of the vinyl reflectorized decal stickers.

Thanks for the comments and thanks for the heads up on the decals LilRosie. I saw those but I'll hold off until I find the reflectors. Right now I have a bolt and chrome acorn nut in the holes.
The PO masked off the decals and painted over leaving a paint edge all around them. The painter had a hell of a time making those bags smooth.

Contact these guys. Maybe they have what you need or can tell you where to look for them.

Also, that guy that has the restoration show on TV (Rick's Restorations?) had a guy come in to make the plastic parts he needed for some project. I'm sure there are a few guys that can make what you want if it isn't already made by someone, somewhere.
Now this guy doesn't list what you want but he may have something else you need.

I have done business with Old Dude. They are good people from my experience.
I have not done business with Toms NOS Parts since it went through some change a couple years ago.

Thanks Megawatt. I tried Tom's before and I think I called Old Dude as well. I'll try again. Someone has to have some. I really only need one
