dfoyl Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Has anyone looked into reproducing BRAT tailgate trim ? I have seen a handful of originals being sold at prices around $300 and that's only going to go up. I have yet to find a half-decent one at a JY, and it doesn't look like a particularly difficult profile to create. It would make sense to have them made in the US given the volume of BRAT's are going to be there, but I am sure there are Asian companies that are doing reproduction parts like door jam plates for Mustang's, Camaro's, etc, that are not going to be any simpler than a BRAT trim. I know I was able to get a pair of door jam plates for my 1967-76 Dodge Dart (local equivalent) for something like $100 US several years ago, and that has a LOT more detail than the BRAT trim - but admittedly was stamped aluminium. Maybe there is a company in the US that could take this on, if we could demonstrate numbers of interest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANIM_Hooneru Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I clean forgot Giles did the Tailgate Trims. They look pretty smick on that Red ute of his. I was speaking to him the other week on Facebook, i'm gonna be placing an order for a tailgate and some other bits and pieces very soon. Is Giles even on USMB?

el_freddo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I don't think he is. And if he is I've not really seen him on here - I'm not that active on this forum atm either. The trend I've seen recently is to go with the de-seamed look. It's odd and could do with a profiled plate to finish it off in my opinion. I'll grab a pic next time I see one of these again. It's weird! Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
