I'd emailed EM for new VIN plates in early 2017. Got some initial informational replies, but my final email request to buy didn't get answered. I got around to reforwarding my email request in mid 2019. Got a prompt reply from Tom. We then had several ensuing email and phone conversations. They stamped out my new VIN plates and they arrived promptly.

Tom was a wealth of knowledge on the phone. They were very busy building cars, and as a small crew, they get busy quickly and may not attend to other communications as consistently as current builds.

Until we see the whites of the eyes confirming otherwise, it may just be their ongoing prior mode of operation with inconsistent communications. Perhaps keep trying periodically. The contact information on their website currently is what I used last year successfully.

Granted, COVID-19 may have thrown a temporary wrench in even their prior recent mode of operation, or worse, I don't know. However, when I spoke with Tom last year it didn't sound like he had any quit in him then! He was deep into several projects it sounded like at the time, fully mentally engaged in Cobras and working on customer needs full time.

We'll see, hope all is well with him/them. Best of luck with the ferrules Mike, whether you buy them from EM or other Cobra aftermarket.
