I have the driver side as pictured below but I need the passenger side and I heard they don't reproduce them so it'd be really awesome if someone had one laying around.  Me trying to custom make something never turns out too well.

When do we get to see how your car is coming along?   :popcorn:

In 2 months I'll be all done and I promise to post a bunch of pictures but I'm kind of keeping it a secret.  I'm really tempted to share one photo of where I'm at right now.

Everything is painted, I'm  waiting for my body guy to finish assembly.

The guy won't pull the bracket out and sell it to me separately should I just go ahead and pull the trigger and buy the whole set as it's pretty cheap?

I paid 50 bucks alone for one straight quarter belt oem trim.

Probably a simple part to manufacture, yet nobody has stepped up  :'(

We all have different skills and access to different tools.  It looks like a bracket that could be made by hand with a little time and the right tools.  That is what I would be doing first.  You have the other side to used as a template too.  :alan2cents:

Thanks guys.  I'll try.  It might even be fun.

Take the junk quarter piece you have with the whole drilled in it and "unroll" a section flat and see if it as wide as the other bracket you have from the other side.  If it is then "have at it", you have plenty of material to practice with.

I am good to go now.  Thanks for your help.  I no longer need the bracket.
