    Does anybody know if there is a company that reproduces the chrome base for the 66 skylark Arm test pads that mount to the door? 1E272C61-F013-454A-A8BC-F3A745FFE8CB.jpeg

    Stay tuned! Big things may be happening. I'm the guy that made some for my car. I'm in the middle of doing a CNC conversion on a milling machine I bought, but it will be a few months to get up to speed on CNC machining.

    Here's a test fit of one before I cut the vertical serrations in the finger hole section. They are not exact reproductions, but they are made of solid aluminum, so they are way stronger. Also, they are not chrome plated, just bare machined aluminum, but could be polished or chrome plated.

    Just bought myself a set from CARS. Anyone know of a good way to dye the pads to light fawn?

    I sprayed mine with single stage paint that I had matched to the pre-existing vinyl.
