Spring Perch, Original or Repro?
Look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Is it an original part, or a repro part? Thanks

$8.00 is too much for you?? Wow, I would buy that all day long for that money. I sold a set on here last year for 45.00 that were in about the same condition.

I think it looks like an early replacement. you need a picture of the end of threads. it looks like the end is rounded and does not have a centering hole in the end. I have a pair of NORS ones just like that. |

I also think it looks like a repro part. It looks like the repro ones I bought for a customer 10 years ago. Here's a picture of my original perch with the green background. Notice the sharper edge at the end of the taper, and the thinner flange by the shock link ball.
