I have one decent Z-51 mount, obviously I need two. If I can get them reproduced in a decent material, would you be interested in a repop or a copy, even if it doesn't look identical to OE? I also have some 5/8" clear acrylic plexi I've been thinking of using to make my own replacements, but I don't know how well it will take the abuse needed. The factory plastic doesn't look any stronger than the acrylic I have though, so it might work... Some nylon or Delrin would be good possibilities too, but I don't know if I have any of that in thick enough stock...

I just saw your post retta today, But it's funny that you said that about delrin because the day after I posted this actually went and duplicated them at my machine shop in Delrin they been on there for about a week and seem fine

Pics? How much did it cost you? I usually do stuff like this myself, but I don't have time to do everything...

I don't have any photos they are already installed, it didn't cost me anything I get free material from my shop and FreeShop time to do a lot I want

That is the way to do it. Beretta ownership should be cheap, and it usually is... One of the many nice things about these cars.

I won't say "you should", but I will say "it would be nice" if you produced a few sets of those, there are at least a few people here that could use them, and I think Delrin is an upgrade from the OEM plastic material. If nothing else, you could make a few bucks for yourself...

I'll probably make my own replacements later this year, when I get my other Z51 sway bar out of storage and ready for the '90 "T-Type" 'Retta. If I can't score some cheap Delrin, I'll try the clear acrylic I have -not as strong, but worth testing.
