I have two. One is a 3 core and needs rust repair below battery. The second is a 4 core HD support with pitting and scaling under the battery. I'm in Oklahoma and can ship. PM if you are interested and I can send pics.

There are some repops listed with free shipping,and some without. No matter how you cut it,you will have the same amount in it,by the time you get it to your door.They have that figured out.
Anyone on here buy one and install it.Just curious how it fits.I bet it's lighter with that thinner jap metal.

1970 core

Oh yes, most repros not as good as originals. However, it seems some lenses are made from the original molds and are good. My 72 El camino replacement lenses look the same as originals. Regards, Trent in Los Angeles

I'd like to know the same thing. Naturally,they will tell you that the fit and appearance is correct,but I'm sure something isn't.Wondering if it is something that can be dealt with.
Typically,for the file photos shown,they will use an NOS or perfect restored OEM piece,and the actual piece will differ slightly from photo.

70 core support

Hello: Thank you Matviar for the specifics. I have heard so many complaints about repro stuff it is not funny. I have tried to save original parts as I can and sell the ones I don't need. I have a factory 71 core support that is about perfect, has just dirt..... Love this site. Regards, Trent in Los Angeles

70 core support

OOps: I know you want it. I guess I forgot it was on me to get it boxed. Sorry. I do remember we got an approx quote to ship it Greyhound. I will visit a couple of body shops and let you know when it is ready to go. I will tie a string around my finger, thank you for the reminder. Trent in Los Angeles.
