Bus Depot has them. They look like the originals and are about $50 apiece with the rubber bumpers at $40 a pair. That is a lot cheaper than $700.

Ummm.. no they don't have these.. Look closer before typing.
Good luck finding another pair. |

Sorry. I didn't see "Late Bay". They have the "Early Bay" overrides which I thought were extinct.

There seem to be more early bay out there. All overriders seem to be at a premium these days. Glad I got mine early on

I'm even more glad I think they're ugly. I love to take them off a found bus and sell them to folks that dig 'em.

x2...I think they are all hideous myself. one guy paid me 200 (his offer, not mine) for the aluminum "anti crush" spacer doodads of early bay over riders. granted, it was a full set.
I couldn't ship them out fast enough

The headlight washers are a cool accessory, I admit. They would look better if they just shot up right out of the bumper.

hmmmm.... I like that idea. Maybe put a second pump in the washer fluid reservoir? It would need some good pressure to be effective. hmmm

They are supposed to be ugly, padded and covered in dash material. Why they did that is beyond me.

can I ask what's wrong with it?
the last one I got from WW was a thick, heavy piece of shit that I gad to grind 1/4" off of the whole front edge....
I bought from them because the one I got for my camper a few years back was thin flexible...think original mat just not dry and brittle. I loved it. then I got this 600 pound mat that fit like ass. I called them out on it too...just got the typical "ahhhhhhhhh, ermmmmm" on the phone

Thought I'd take up the 20% off that CIP1 is having now and get a new floor mat. What complete sh*t. Buyer be warned.
It's literally as if they went to home depot and pick out the rubber by the sq ft and cut it. AHHHHHHHH, I'm so pissed.

Can you get some photos of the crappy details?

Its super thin, no grip, feels and looks cheap. It fit the shape of the floor well, just had to cut a little more to fit the accelerator pedal.
I can't find it on home depot's website, but next time I see it I'll snap a photo, but just think cheap, thin, flimsy, and not worth a penny.

EXACTLY! No waffle back, basically this stuff:
Ribbed rubber flooring

is there a replacement with the waffle backing?
Mine has a tear. It still works, but now I'm curious where I can find a high quality replacement if needed.

So who has the best one. Mine is beginning to tear in a few places (after 46 years).
