| Anyone know whether B and K Manufacturing (high quality dune buggy accessories - mirrors, wind wings, etc.) will be returning to business any time soon ? |

I serious doubt it. The buggy parts where just small part of Bill's machine shop work. He did it more for the love of being part of the buggy world.
It started with making the mirror clamps for his friend Dino (BugShields).
And now that Latest Rage as come out with it inferior made and finished mirror clamps and with surely more inferior parts to follow.
Something that is quality made here in the USA would have a hard time competing as most seem to buy the cheap crap.
It is how Latest Rage and EMPI stay in business.

Agree on the junk issue. Sad that the parts won't be available again. Joseph, thanks for the update/info..
