No, I don't think anybody repops them You have to do what I did; buy a nice used one and clean it up. None of the zinc plating techniques used by restorers can match the "spangle" finish on the factory part....or at least I haven't heard of anyone being able to do that.

The reason I ask is that I have a couple of NOS ones.One with that style bracket and another which has a curve in the center of the bracket which I think is for a Cuda.Curved to clear the fill neck.Thanks for any info.

I then repainted the springs and sprayed mat clear on the galvanized pieces and re assembled it. This is from a 71 Roadrunner. This stuff really works well on parts that are not too far gone. It only attacks iron oxide which is rust.

You might try testing that out on some old crappy items to see how it comes out. The before and after pics that he had looked pretty good though.
