TeeJay Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Being the tightwad I am, I don't really want to spend big bucks on this, as it's just for a fun little project I'm dreaming up (No need to get worried, this one will be as close to 'factory stock' as possible ) but I think it'll be the icing on the cake. Any recommendations for sources in terms of price/quality? Thanks in advance, amigos :drinks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 According to what I've read these ones from Ofrei is the closest ones to gen. Some even say they are used by RSC as replacement..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 for the real thing check the vintage forum; it will cost you an arm and a leg This is going to be very much a budget project, so vintage parts will be a nono, but thanks for the suggestion I guess this project is a case of seeing what I can achieve in terms of parts and modifications available commercially, but on a shoestring budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 for the real thing check the vintage forum; it will cost you an arm and a leg True, and unfortunately a gen pearl falls out as easily as an OFrei part. So it's aftermarket pearls for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I found a guy on ebay selling them for $8 but i have lost the link. Afterall, these probably cost about 15 cents to produce, so even $8 seems outrageous to me! dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is the Clark "Pearl Dot". I can't remember exactly how much they were but $12 seems to ring a bell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
