If they are painted black it would be hard to tell the difference.

Just read this post, and I can talk from experience. I have just put a pair of the old pressed sills on my rebuild. I found them to be a little out, with the left one being slightly longer than the right. I also found the profile was not quite the same as the original as I left the bottom of the "B" pillar in place as a guide for refitting. So for Rares to pull them from sale  when they found them not be  the proper shape was a great move, as it shows they put the customer before sales. With the test fitting and release of the new sills it shows the commitment to making sure things are right is foremost and should be congratulated. I am at the stage in my rebuild, where I can rehang the doors and guards to check the gaps and fit. I feel I may have a problem with the bottom step in the sill so rather than rework them, it may be a better option to replace them with the new sills. To this end I would like to be kept informed as to the availability of stock ex Sydney.
Thanks again for your efforts,
Jim

Les the price is still good if they are as good as they look there was a guy here in WA that had NOS sills he wanted $1200 for them and apparently he was going to sell them to somebody in Queensland for $800.

Any idea when Rares are going to start manufacturing?

Finally got it finished!!  A day before leaving for Tassie.
A big thankyou to Rare Spares for using my car as the trial for the new sills I couldn't be happier.
