Look for a set from a later year. The early ones seemed to have issues with cracking. I would say early 90s but i'm not sure how far into the 90s the 305 was being used. I wouldn't pay more than $100.00 to $150.00 for the pair if they need to see the machinest. Alitttle over $300.00 doesn't seem to bad if they are ready to bolt on.

I've got a good set but shipping would be outragous.
