A lot of A, B & E body buckets came with white.

But some also came with black.

This one is from a 1970 Challenger SE from Hamtramck with a scheduled production date in October, 1969.

Odd.

I just checked two Hamtramck Hemi Challengers - one 9/69 and one 11/69 - both white

The different versions could be due to different suppliers, early vs. late, etc., etc.

The other side is damaged as well, so regardless of color, the originals do get brittle over the decades & I am hoping to find black.

Yes I found all my white ones crumbling away.

I can check my seat stash on Monday but you might need to ping me with a reminder.

Monday I can ask the company that makes the white ones if they can do a run in black.

That would be wonderful!

Since the tooling already exists hopefully a color change is easy too.

Thanks James!

Hmm. My seats didn’t have these therefore I didn’t know they even existed. I thought I had everything covered.

Would these apply to an AAR as well?

Buy some round plastic bar stock & have some turned on a lathe.

I just became aware of the black ones in November of last year & just saw my second set before posting this thread.

I do not know how long the black ones were in use, but I did not know to look until recently.

Before that I had only seen the white / opaque versions.

Ok so there were white and some black but my concern is that I had neither. Where they notorious for coming off and being chunked?

Where can a white set be sourced?

Hopefully DMT can shed some insight.

www.dantesparts.com has the white versions.

Originals are notorious for not aging well, they fail with age.

Yes, I have them available with or without the studs.

We will check tomorrow on the cost of the material to do a minimum run of 50 pair. The other thing is we will need to see when we are scheduled to do another run of the clear nylon bumpers. It makes more sense to do them at the same time. I know that we will be out of pocket for the next several weeks for any manufacturing of this nature, so you would probably be looking at the end of November as the best case scenario of having them available.

Are the originals rubber or nylon?

Does your car have bucket seats? Bench seats don't use these.

Bucket

The seat stop bumpers can be done in black and we would be looking at a retail price of $23.95 for them with a limited production run of 25 pair. If you should want them with the studs, the price per pair would be $26.20.

At the current time, it looks like it would be the week starting November 19th, before they could be put into production and should be available by November 26th.

For anyone who would like to inquire about purchasing a set, send us an email to the address at our website as linked below. I need at least 25 pair spoken for to make it worthwhile.
