We had them molding some aerospace cables, it was a contract for the company I used to work for, I'm not 100% that it's the same outfit but anyone who deals in aerospace does exclusivity agreements.

I sent several emails with no reply.  I actually am talking to an older 73-87 friend about making the plugs/molds for these.  Keep you posted.. 
I am also still working on making the fiberglass molds.

Spent about an hour with a company on the pods.  I may end up having to seam it and have a parting line on the part.

Thanks for your effort and persistence.  I'll be watchin' the progress... been looking for a 3-gauge, full pillar mount for years (like a lot of other folks it seems).  I don't think you'll have any trouble moving the product once people become aware of it.  Best.

Amazing how products that so many wanted for these trucks never made a sucessful run yet the visor and the razor back still plague these machines. Hope you get some success Chris and thanks for the devotion!

All three of my trucks would get at least a two pod if they become available. Hope things are getting close to having someone make a run of them. Fiber or plastic, I'd like to have them.

They are working on making the mold to pull a single so I can see what the seam is going to look like.

They told me their long term projects ended and they should have something for me anytime.  I called Friday, but it was too late as they closed early also.
