What parts would you like to see reproduced that don't exist anymore or are very hard to find?

Master cylinder and wheel cylinder rebuild kits for my cars.

[geeteeohguy]

Hydraulic flat tappet cams and lifters that you can install without even a thought of them failing.

[KS circutguy]

Never had a problem in 50yrs. doing it.
I don't get it.

I wonder how many flat tappet hydraulic valve lifters would have to be ordered for someone reputable to manufacture a run for the Pontiac V8? Is it even feasible?

Tri-y headers for d port heads would be my vote.

Yes, I have tribal tube tri-y headers on my car and wish they'd be easier to obtain for future builds or other members to enjoy.

Just about any/all Pumps, Valvetrain, Starter, etc.
But hell I knew this from the start many years ago.

Now it's Gaskets, and Filters

How about an easy one that very few people even know they're missing. The 4 bbl vent gasket. Source material and punch out pattern.

I was thinking about this the other day and maybe parts that dont exist anymore but the younger generations will says HUH. A youngster will open up the hood of a classic and see a carburetor . How about seeing a distributor with super long plug wires and a single coil. Sticking with distributor they would be completely lost seeing a set of points.

Pie-in-the-sky thinking:

- '60's steering wheel center caps with replaceable lenses and attachment clips

- Affordable '60's big car clear steering wheels

- Early '60's 8-lug center caps

- Correct repro underhood lights (for cars with reel out trunk lights)

- '60's 2-speed wiper and wiper/washer switches (single speed switches are available, but big cars have 2-speed wipers)

- Correct (as in all chrome) windshield wiper refills (good quality at believable prices)

- '50's and '60's power seat motors, cables, transmissions, and switches

- '50's and '60's correct AC components, including ducts, switches, and harnesses

- Power antenna masts ('40's, '50's, '60's, '70's, '80's)

- Vacuum remote trunk release, door lock, and headlamp components

Quick, OTTOMH thoughts.

Just spent around $175 for wipers for my 3 old cars. Ugh! The ones for the GTO were the most expensive, as I had put black plastic replacements on years ago in a pinch, so had to order blades and arms. What a joke….but I paid it.
