Thought I would let everyone know that those boys down under sell a fiberglass repro - I have been looking high and low for a spare set to convert and this morning while browsing for their gasket set I came across these babies.

Needless to say they are on their way across the waters between us :)

Been around for a while...

Sadly, the 1976 model year brought about a parkiug brake change to the footpedal model mounted against that kickpanel...unlike the early "pull handle" models....I'm not sure why they still list it for the 1976 years...

I've been thinking about getting these too. Please give us a review once you get & install them.

Thanks

Because they're in Australia and their usage of the US '67-'76 body style stopped after the '70 model year. Their '71-up Valiants are completely different inside and out, and take a different kick panel.
