Bill,
I think Jim Weston of Airmark Tools has the know-how/machinery to recast
small parts if there is enough demand, he may even be able to do
'one-offs', I know he can do some of the tail lights used on vintage'streams.
Might be worth a try,
now, does anyone know how I can get hold of a weight distributing hitch,
receiver and sway control to link my '89 GMC Vandura to my '75 29'
Ambassador, and, more importantly, does anyone know how I can get itto the
UK without paying an exorbitant price for shipping it, then another10%
import duty, followed by another 17.5% Value Added Tax on the wholelot
including shipping?

Oh well, looks like I may NEVER get to tow my dream stream...
Marie over the sea
