    When you buy the shaker conversion, they come with it.

    Might be cheaper to buy the whole kit all at once. Call Ben and check w/him.

    I've seen the shaker repro hoods at Carlisle when it first came out and yes they are very nice. But I've also heard that doing the Shaker conversion is still the best way since the original guage metal is so much better. The original hoods supposed to weigh more. They are alot of work to convert over is the downside.

    Six Pack is good to deal with , but sure on the quality of Shaker parts from them though , there Six Pack set ups are good though
    Amd has awesome metal parts , Gene Gregory has a Shaker conversion kit as well as Ben Snobar .
    I have dealt with all the above companies & people with no issue & all have good product
