    Anyone have an original for sale? Otherwise, where’s the best place to get a Reproduction?

    Thanks!

    Not looking for NOS, a nice used original would suffice,

    Has anyone watched one of the re-pops? Quality, fit and finish?

    The parts place spoiler is very nice, I have an original and a new TPP in my shop now the TPP one lays rite over the original, I scuff them up with 100 grit paper and spray Duplicator bed liner on them looks just like a ABS plastic texture not 100% correct but looks and holds up awesome

    oh I didnt know TPP sold them, thats cool. Do they use the chrome dual outlet Spectra air cleaner to mate to the hoses?

    Do you need to install the baffle and support brace as well or are they not necessary?

    John, the TPP part doesn’t have the baffles like the Poston model.....

    Yeh, I was wondering never heard of a repop of it was sweating I overpaid for main if now reproduced lol
    I have the chrome air cleaner assembly with mine too though. Was a rare chance impulse buy from John Kemper (R.I.P.) he built a very nice crate for it too. Really miss John : (

    Don't worry I will come through for ya : ) just has a bunch of real fragile stuff on top of it so try not to mess with it much, I need to dig it out and keep with the spoiler anyway though

    TPP is just a factory style, no ports but yes a brace and baffle are essential in protecting it and it's function
