A pair of elbows arrived on my doorstep yesterday. They look great and fit perfectly.

Thanks, guys, for the testimonials. I have 8 elbows left of the 1st 17 parts received and checks promised for them. 13 parts are still due from the supplier. I've tried to get parts to those that expressed an interest when the survey was done, but not all of them have come forward with a check. Elbows are still $70/pair and shipping is free. It's going to be a first come, first serve basis from here on out until all parts are gone. A check in my hand will get parts shipped the next day. I will give a refund for what I can't supply.
Good luck and happy holidays,
Shel

Final report. All 30 of the re-pops have been distributed and I think everyone is happy with what they received.
Thanks to all and Happy New Year,

Thank you Shel.  Much appreciated.  I'm going to get a set installed as soon as the snow melts.  Here in MN, that might be July...

Gentleman, Sounds like there is still a demand for the elbows.  So far, I know of 2 pairs that are needed.  Sheldon has done a great job with the lead he came upon using my original elbow. 

If you are interested in a pair of the defroster elbows, please let me know so I can start a interest list.  if there is enough of a interest, we will do another run.

Old thread but I'm resurrecting it just to comment on how much I appreciate the effort that went into making these.  I installed one in my '52 Henry J Vagabond tonight - glad to have it!  Look at the one I took out and it becomes very clear as to why I appreciate it.  Once again, great job gentlemen!
