sparto boots: finally !!!!!!
Discussion
i have been on these pages before, promising sparto boots but failed to deliver in numbers. having been mocked for that as well and maybe justly.
but i have finally succeeded in making the correct boots in the correct sizes and the correct materials. so now i am taking orders for the boots. as i don't know how many of you out there are still interested i haven't set a price yet, but the more i sell the lower the price will be of course.
attached is a picture of the samples that have been made with the new tooling. i have tried/tested them with lenses, rings and internals and they fit perfectly.
spread the word.
note: it must have been 6 years or even more i started this expedition. there was a tvr owner in the states who sent me a new old stock boot as a base to work from. i have lost his details due to moving in the meantime, but i think his name was randy ? at least he deserves a free set to repay him for his generosity, but i don't have the man's details anymore. randy: drop me a pm if you read this or get word from someone in the community.![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/8G8H9w5o.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="https://thumbsnap.com/DtYyq7Rw" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]https://thumbsnap.com/sc/DtYyq7Rw.jpg)

i have now set a price for them at € 22.50 each plus vat, shipping and paypal fees if applicable. listed them on ebay as well now with more pictures. delivery expected 2-3 weeks from now. pre-orders are taken. already much attention drawn.
next item will be the chrome rings, hoping to receive a pattern soon. i'm thinking of reproducing them in stainless, or would you as interested parties go for the original brass/chrome version. stainless would be more cost effective i think, and these days it is hard to produce good chromework.
i would have to look into making the internals as well, but i don't have an original: maybe someone out there does??
looking forward to your replies / contributions.
lenses are readily available in amber, plain red, red with reflector and clear ( not opaque).
thank for reading. good night, geert.
