Seem to be ok and reasonably priced. Most all the repros probably come from the same source. If I were to do it over again, I would buy original used ones and get them rechromed. Cost more, but they are beefier.

I think they are made more for looks than anything else. since my 54is not stock anyway i wish now i would have spent my money on a roll pan. Since i have not put it on I cannot comment on how it fits or how durable they are.

now I'm a bit worried!

If you don't have the original this is the way to go. Just don't expect them to be as heavy and functional as an original.

I had my originals repaired and rechromed I'm not entirely sure the extra cost was worth it. You never have to worry about the stainless ones rusting or the chrome peeling off.
Just my $0.02
