Slant back c pillar measurements

[Overboard]

I have a 1045a2 and the c pillar is just a tube, I need the c pillar for a slant back, I know flea bay has them but looking at it I can't see it being hard or expensive to manufacture instead of spending over $700. Is there anyone that could give me the measurements off of theirs? I would greatly appriecate it.

Ummm, I had 60 of them Mfg’d , I sold them for $650ea, ive got one left...if you think they are easy to make, have at it.
its not just a round tube, it’s got a specific crush that requires a specific die And at the same time not crush the remaining 6 or so inches of the round end of the tube. Then there is the skin, that an entirely different conversation.
What you have is what GovPlanet stuck in there for next to nothing, it’s worthless because without the crush and skin, you have no place for the hatch seal to seal out the elements.
My units are So good, that once painted and set along side an OEM unit, it’s impossible to tell them apart.
the current eBay units have had some serious complaints of not fitting right and require cutting and grindin.

I purchased other reverse engineered manufactured parts from RWH, and the quality was outstanding.

I would consider his offer to sell you what you need.

Well I know enough to get myself in trouble most times and i believe you when you say that manufacturing this would be a pain. Can you message me contact info.

I'm not sure he offered to sell it. He said he had sold them in the past for $650 and had one of the 60 he had made left .
That was a few years back if I remember correctly.
But I'd send he a message it wouldn't hurt.
