I'll throw in my two cents worth here and heartily second Keith's
sentiments.
Larry (and his company) produce some of the highest quality merchandise
for the automobile enthusiast they you can find.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Larry for many years (we both are
members of the same local club) and I can vouch for the fact that he is
very sincere about quality. At first blush, Ledermann Rupp's prices may
seem high, but for value recieved, they simply cannot be beaten.
If you want to make sure the accessories you get are of high enough
quality to place with your LBC, Ledermann Rupp is the only choice.
Usual disclaimer applies, I have no financial interest etc,etc,etc,. i
just appreciate good quality.
