Title: Any interest in obtaing newSS French locks(exhaust keepers) for nailhead engines
Post by: Mister T on January 25, 2015, 03:57:21 PM
There's a V8 member who is looking into reproducing these if he gets sufficient interest. I've linked his thread below. At $25.00/set including shipping from Wisconsin this could be a good deal. My car has headers or I would get in line.

These are already available. I've seen them on the OPGI site...

If they can be done for $25 with shipping, as proposed, that is about half of OPGI.

And stainless to boot?

CARS, Inc. already has them also, and they are stainless too.

The ones at Cars are $3.50 each plus shipping. $28.00 plus shipping. Have them on my car and they are a nice product.

It looks like the OP on V8 has sufficient interest to get these made. If you're on the fence about ordering, now's the time to step up.  :thumbsup: His price for a set of 8 locks will be $25.00 shipped to the lower 48.

I'd like to get in on a set also. Is someone going to post when they are available or should I keep an eye on e-bay?

This thread is on the v8 forum.
Seems the poster has no interest in posting it here. Thanks to Tom for catching and bringing it to our attention.

According to the OP on V8, they will be available some time this week. He was just informed by his supplier that they're done. I would volunteer to keep track of interest here and ensure all parties got theirs, except I'm on the road during the week with limited internet access.

If you are interested in getting in on this, you probably need to commit soon.

The person that is having these made says they are done and in his hands.

If you are interested then you need to act now and commit via pm to him.
