Awesome!
@bhicks can you please post the link to the passenger side when you have it posted?
I will definitely do that. I just wanted to get as much feedback as possible before I made that batch of passenger side boots. I made the adjustments that I think were needed and that batch will get started on Monday.
 
youve gone way above and beyond , thank you
 
Talent and commitment can accomplish a whole lot.

Well done sir. I salute you. :cheers:
 
At this point I am calling this project done. I have to move on to other projects I committed to. I did my best to make these as dialed in as possible. Hopefully folks will be happy with the final version.
Dude, I am soooo happy you did this for me and the community.

I'm so happy I pee just a little everytime I open the door.

Thank you again, I'll be ordering an extra set just to sit in the parts bin.
 
Time for an update. We have been trying to make a batch of the more narrow passenger side boot for 2 weeks. The print quality on our parts drastically dropped and we could not figure out what happened. They were not to our quality standard to ship to customers. After a ton of digging we finally figured it out. One of our new guys hired for the holiday season decided to "clean" our SLA machine like he was trained to clean our FDM assembly line machines. Unfortunately it's totally different technology and in the process of cleaning he scuffed up the lense/printing plate with an abrasive cleaner which created light deformation which resulted in poor print quality. The replacement parts just arrived and we will get the machine fixed today. We will get this batch into production by tomorrow. Very sorry for the delay. Seasonal employees are really a love/hate relationship. We can't survive without out them but they are STUPID at the same time.

I let two different friends borrow my soft top 74 for a week each. They both noticed the rubber grommets and how cool they were. Neither one said anything about the slightly pinched passenger side. I just got my truck back today and will see if I can finagle the pinchy side into place.

I'll definitely be ordering a set for my 79 and another for the shelf. THANK YOU for your endless support of this community.

I absolutely love the relentless pursuit of perfection.

"Good enough" is often an excuse.

It's either right or it's not. :cheers:

Hello,

x2.

And quality is fulfilling the design requirements exactly.

Keep up the good work.

I got a small batch of the updated passenger side inserts done. I just put them up on our seller platforms so they can be sold separately and not as a pair. The pair option is still there if you need both but now you can select the driver or passenger side if you need a single part/replacement. I will get a larger batch made next week so if these sell out then be patient and we will restock around Wednesday with a larger batch.


 

Still not an FST, but do I qualify? Right now, I need all the weather protection I can get. Thanks @bhicks!

Not an FST.webp
 
I gotta give it to you, that’s a pretty extreme act. You are like the christian bale method actor of the 70 series just to rock turn signal inserts.

Yeah, maybe I went too far, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I need 6 passenger side inserts - would love to order all at once from your website. Can you let me know please if you’ll have those in stock at some point? Thank you.

I have a dozen in stock right now. I just have inventory spread out across three different websites so there might not be six available on one site but I will update the website so you can order six.
