CORRECTION : shorty Fuba Betina mast still available : 000 051 560

[Martin Pajak]

Louis,

Yes, the prices were higher, however you have to be careful because on
some of the NLA items some dealers (not all) will go aftermarket.

Hood cables are $7 aftermarket and ANSA donuts are $10 each.  Quality is
not the same.  Hood cable handles are now plastic and donuts are that
cheap soft material that falls apart rather quickly.
The blue mounts are NLA and the dealer will sell you the green stuff
that's $15 aftermarket.

Just my $0.02

Cheers
Martin
