    I don't think so. I think someone was looking into having them made.

    Beware! I just returned my gaskets for the sports mirrors to Auto Krafters. I have a set of originals but thought since its getting a restoration I would treat it to new ones. The ones I received from AK were about a quarter inch shorter then the OE ones. I took them to Carlisle to show them the difference. They pulled out another set and they were the same problem. The explaination I got was they must have shrunk in the mould and they would look into it. Im still waiting for my refund!

    I know the ones they sent me for approval were dead on accurate. Not sure what happened.

    $24.95 a pair is a lot of money to throw in the trash!!! That will certainly buy you other parts.
