New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I recently stumbled upon this company making reproduction hatches on Ebay. Has anyone else seen this or even bought one to try? I am curious how well built they are and how the fitment is.

Looks promising. I wonder if it’s as good as they say it is.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I sent the gentleman a message requesting pictures of it mounted on a 69-72 BLAZER/JIMMY/GM hardtop. Crossing fingers...

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I'm also very interested in hearing more about this hatch...

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Has anyone received any more information on these?

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Bringing this back to the top. I need a rear hatch and all of the hardware with it. Has anyone seen one yet?

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I asked for pictures, here is his reply:
You know sorry I don't, but you can be the first. In fact I did two for some local guys, however they seem to be the head officers for the procrastinators Club they keep putting off the first meeting. The hatch is a nice piece and if your not pleased you can return it for a full refund. The hatch needs finishing and painting white, or the color of your choice.

Looks better than the repop hatch I bought off Brothers 20 years ago, for about the same money. That thing still rattles.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Getting the hardware [latches, catches, hinges, relay rods, twist handle, etc.] is the big problem. You're supposed to reuse your old stuff. If your stuff went everywhere when the first hatch went ker-bang, or you bought a K/5 as a topless Convertible, then it's ''Go Fish.''
You could post a WTB [Want To Buy] ad in the Parts section.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I bought from both these guys, and while I haven't installed them yet, they look to be good quality.

And there is always member 1rippen6 for used parts

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

OK. I was just about to mention 1rippen6. He's OK. I got some hatch pieces/parts for my '71 Jimmy from him 4 years ago.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Fyi - just spotted this ad:

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Not bad. If you knew someone who woked with fibreglas [surfboard- or boat builder] you'd be in business. My old one isn't in much worse shape.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

10 plus years ago they were tried, owners were not happy with them then.

you might try this wasn't hard.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Any news on this?

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I asked the guy on eBay about one.

He said:


"Let me get some orders ahead of you out, and I'll be glad to make you one, should be about 3 weeks.

Thanks
David"

I'll let you know in a few months.

Now I just need to find latches. My top is missing them, top side.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Motor City K5 makes he's own and have read were the people that bought were happy with them.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

This is news. That’s good there is another source.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

849 for the bare hatch from them:

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Picking up my new hatch today.

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

Only $2,385.84 before taxes plus $50 crate fee plus shipping for a fully assembled hatch! Not exactly a bargain. Seems like you could find a complete single wall top with nice hatch for at least half of that based on my strolls through craigslist. But I guess if you are out of options this is the way to go. Looks to be quality stuff. Glad I got a nice original and complete spare 20 years ago:)

Re: New Blazer Reproduction Hatch Company
 

I’m wondering how the repo compares to original. I know it’s pricey but at least it’s an option if you can’t find one.
