    "Wanted" Checkmate Trim Tabs

    I was going to get these from the guy but he stop responding to me. They are a bit damaged and need repair. I offered him $100 plus shipping, told him I did not care if they were damaged. Everything was good and he just stop emailing me so give him a try. Just don`t hold you breath.
