Re: Soon to come, Classic Heartbeat's 71/72 Gas Filler Grommets..
Hey Wes, congrats on a great product, like I said in the earlier thread, I would like 2 of them when you get them in. Also, why did they create the special 71/72 style? Was it do to the different style gas tank? Trevor

Re: Soon to come, Classic Heartbeat's 71/72 Gas Filler Grommets..
We did some arm twisting with our manufacturer and the price should be $9.95. It was a bit of a struggle because they wanted me to buy 1000 pieces and I only wanted 250 to start off with...

Wes, these are the ones that are made from a better compound aren't they? They won't crack within a year of use should they? Trevor

Well this was how it looked after 8-9 mths....I kid you not !! ![]() They sent a replacement for free, but I ended up trimming that inner lip off that you can see in Wes's first pic to take some of the tension out this time. I bet I'll be buying one of yours before long Wes. ![]()

Trust me, I know all of this all to well. Mine cracked around the same time frame. That's why I asked Wes to make sure

Re: Soon to come, Classic Heartbeat's 71/72 Gas Filler Grommets..
I'm in the same boat with my Classic Parts repop gasket, I'll definitely be in line for one of these. $10.00 doesn't sound bad, you said they'd be a little more but I was expecting worse.

Re: Soon to come, Classic Heartbeat's 71/72 Gas Filler Grommets..
WES,
Are the 67-70 model grommets you sell made of this similar 'better' material? I need a good one for a 68 gas tank.

Re: Soon to come, Classic Heartbeat's 71/72 Gas Filler Grommets..
Once they are done, yes they will be. Right now I have one or 2 and may have access to a few more Genuine GM Grommets. (these have been discontinued also) Those are $9.95ea. Subject to change the harder they get to locate. WES
