Is Klett still in business? If so, does anyone have contact details?

Thanks in advance, Geoff

Nope! I called them, and they are out. Out! OUT! Darn it! Thanks for the listing, though, Jim, you never can tell . . .

You might try Tom Morris.  When he attended the Memphis Stunt Classic last year I purchased some of the large Klett hinges from him.  I don't know if he still has any left, though.

Thanks......I had hear something about the hinges being no longer available but wasn't sure about Klett Plastics.

Guess they made all the money they wanted and retired........

Thanks guys

It's disappointing and, given the quality of the hinges that I bought a couple of years ago, the tooling should have been in pretty good shape. Even if Roy Klett wanted to retire, it's a pity somebody else didn't take over the tooling.

Thanks again
