Default 32 Luggage Rack Stainless?

Does anyone repop the stainless trim strips for the 32 luggage rack?
If so, how is the fit and quality?
Thanks.

No one makes them.The repop ones on the repop racks were of a thinner grade of stainless and the ends were not rounded over very well.

They used to be made by or were made for Girtz Welding in Indiana, the same folks who originally made the reproduction bumpers and luggage racks. They weren't perfect as noted by deuce lover plus their cross section was narrower than the originals.
