Danny,

As long as you're open to having them made from steel rather than stainless steel, I'll make them for you, and a set for myself.

I checked out the wipers and they are not even rubber. They appear to be some sort of semi-hard plastic. I'm going to get some rubber to replace the plastic ones with.

Thanks Ed, will take upon your offer. Can you post a picture of your saddle back rail please? Original saddle was a POC as you know and the replacement is perfect (you have seen the small work done on my lathe) but the back rail dos not covered 100% the flat guide as seen in picture #2. Wonder how much is your saddle covering the guide, on mine I have had face them and lost 1/16" material.
Also did you get paint to match the original pain? I got mine from a auto body shop and it matches the color 99%, still have a bunch left if you want.
