I am looking for a set of sticks for clipper to use in my experimental build.... or could also be hooked up with a someone that could bend up a set for me!

I made a set for my Pacer. I did not need to make as deep of a bend since I set my linkages more forward than the Clipper. I made a jig out of wood and heat bent the tubing.

Make sure that your bend is deep enough so than when your seat is forward you get full aft stick control.

My Clipper sticks are out, I can trace them on a piece of cardboard if you need an outline.

I have found that rolling an exact copy of a Clipper stick is very difficult. There is a lot of radius. The guy that rebuilds the Stromberg carburetors in the Chicago area had a race car fabrication shop build qome, they are not cheap but exact copies and have the push to talk built in.

Yeah, when Charlie built these he had a little trouble getting the radius in there without some kinks. I was just thinking if I could find a set that I would switch them out.
