Hi Dave, had you mentioned needing one of these earlier in the week, I could have stuck it in with the NOS regulator. Going by your given p/n, the one that you are asking for is the harder to find one for the smaller 1 1/2" tank neck, would need $60. (+ $4./ship) on the #3978799 GM grommet, if it ends up that you are after the larger 2" one, I could do that in GM for $30. (+ $4./ship) due to having several. Let me know, Mel.

Hey Dave, its yours. Did you plan on using the same payment method used last Monday? Thank you, Mel.

Not for sale, just sharing. I found a NOS one for my 71' build and it is awesome!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-01-2014, 10:56 AM

I have had these reproduced. Mine come with a five year warrantee against any degridation what so ever. No cracking, or no fading period! $9.95. WES

Just curious are these made in US? I need one for a 69 1/2 ton. Thanks

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-01-2014, 01:23 PM

Yes. All "Classic Heartbeat Exclusive" parts are made in the USA. However your 69 uses a 2" grommet, not 1 1/2" that 71-72s use. I do not have the 67-70 2" grommets yet. WES

Sure, per the rules as a paying member you should be able ask for a part anywhere here, but the powers that be have been getting really picky lately and would rather have ten separate paying members each post their own WTB's instead of handling it all in one place/one thread. I would say either call me directly/off board or post up your own WTB thread on the parts board. Mel
