Default 68 Z Repro Cowl Plenum

Has anyone checked out the reproduction cowl plenum air cleaners on Ebay? I am considering one of these for my 68 Z to avoid paying for the real thing. It's an original cowl plenum car so I want it to look and function correctly. Thanks for the help -- Tony

I have never seen one of them, but I think they are made out of fiberglass?

Give Jerry MacNeish a call -- he "da man" for these things. He won't be shy about sharing his opinion.

Tony, A friend of mine bought one for his driver and was very pleased with it for the money. The mold for it was made from an original '68 breather and it fits and looks good.

I have had a few and have one in the body shop now being painted. They are made from carbon fiber and from an original 68, the carb plate is metal and once you put it tougher and fix any seams and paint it you have to touch it to tell its not metal. Ill send you a pick when this one is done and installed.
