Default Control arm dust flaps/covers

Does anyone know if anyone makes an accurate reproduction
I bought a pair from a popular vendor and they are too thin and look like roofing material.

Willcox's were (are) at least a 95% match. The nylon scrivets accompany and fit the pre-punched affixment holes.
Yes, the originals and correct replacements are reminiscent of a roof shingle.

Bought mine from Paragon and they are made from the correct Masticated Rubber but are a little on the glossy side compared to the originals.

Default Dust Shields

I have an April built 68 with the dust shields attached with staples. I'm looking for a pair of decent used originals to replace mine which are shredded. Please PM me if you have one or two. Rich

Hmm. Privately, I cringe at any mental image of the supremely studly C3 having an emasculated-sounding "rubber" (think adolescent wallet) component in its powertrain pouch. Jus sayin'

Negative.

The picture was taken just before the first light and cam break-in. I was using the syringe to pre-fill the fuel bowls and pressurize the lines to check for leaks. If interested, you can check out a full description and video in this thread:
