I have a bid from a US bolt manufacturer to produce these, and now need your feedback on deciding how many to have produced - especially since there are 73-up versions out there that are not correct but work for 69-72 so people use them. Price point to make a minimum run will be around $45 shipped but the price will get better if I can make a larger order, so let’s hear from you!

Pics of an NOS bolt are below.

Also thanks to 1rippen6 for help with the NOS example!
Ha! That's my bolt, hand and kitchen island counter tile.
