Do they have to be originals? I replaced my missing ones on my Vistas with the Pearl ones. They look similar, and work just fine at about $5 each.

A few questions... Are you looking for the style with the knob above or below the mounting screw? Late 70's mufflers had the knob below the mounting screw. As to good-to-excellent condition, this will be tough. Most that I've found have worn/scratched chrome on the knob. That, plus EVERY muffler pad will be loose and wobbly, due to the shrinking of the cork washer used. This can be dealt with by wrapping black sewing thread around the rivet to take up the slack in the cork washer. Just tie it off and cut it and you're good to go. Finally, If you do have the style with the knob below the mounting screw, your best bet is to get NEW Ludwig mufflers. They use a nylon washer under the felt pad and will not make noise...or shrink! Good luck!

I need the knob ABOVE the mounting screw...I will consider any condition, but, prefer very good to excellent condition...I`m aware that these parts can be "well used", but, I have seen some that are in great condition...

I appreciate the info though...

Cheers
