Wanted: 1 exhaust chrome tip for AMT '71 Mustang

[chepp]

This is a survivor that I built when the kit was new but one exhaust tip has gone missing. Have you got a spare one for me?

It is not a straight Tube, is it?

I have 4 of the straight tube kind from the 69 Ford kits.

Yours if you want them.

I do not ever recall seeing those tips in any of the AMT or MPC 71-73 Mustang kits.  Perhaps they came from the AMT 68 Shelby kit.

I took an aluminum tube that fit onto exhaust and gently hammered one end into a rectangle shape. Just like yours. 

I did this to a Hemi Cuda because the kits exhaust tips were too small.

Good luck

Mike

This one is an oval shape.

Thanks, all, for commenting. I'm looking for the original issue from the 1971 released T114 or equivalent. As far as I know, they are the stock chrome exhaust tips from that kit. I wanted it to be exact so I could shoot color photos of the model and refer to my build article in the January 1972 issue of Model Car Science magazine on pages 19-22.

My fallback is to use the pair of exhaust tips from the Revell 1968 Dodge Charger R/T that look virtually the same (and I would never build that kit with a stock exhaust). I'm too cheap to buy the new-issue '71 Mustang just for the tips since I would probably never build the car or want its parts.
