Check out Willcox site...they are selling them separately according to their Black Friday post.
Good luck.

I went to the Wilcox site and only saw the complete set for sale.

I'm not real happy with Wilcox. I ordered a 78-82 steering wheel from them in pace car silver with satin spokes and they phoned me and said the can't provide pace car silver with satin spokes, if I want the pace car silver I have to order the steering wheel with chrome spokes. He then said the chrome spokes are correct for the 78 pace car and after buying it with chrome spokes I later find out that's not true, the satin spokes are correct for 78 pace car.

I see them now in the last email they sent. I'm not willing to pay that much for individual letters. Also some of the pictured 68-73 letters aren't the same shape as the ones that came off the 69 rear clip I bought.

Sorry to hear this Priya.
They usually bend over backwards to help customers.
They have for me.
Call Ernie directly at the store and see what he can do for you.
Worth a try.

I'm pretty sure it was Ernie who called me about the steering wheel.

So I went to Eckler's and they had all eight letters for $19.97. Went to buy them and at checkout they wanted $48 for shipping! A tiny little package like that and they want $48 for shipping. No thanks.

I have a set with nice chrome. The long stud on the "O" and "R" are broken off with about 1/8" remaining. I don't know which design your existing letters are. Pm your email and I'll send pics. Problem is shipping cost uncertainty , according to USPS they can be sent in a large envelope for about $6. If that postage fee is correct, the price for the entire set is $35.
