While this can be inferred from the "website", the statement below is still correct. jsleanThe manufacturer's website gives no indication as to how to order the parts.

Here's what I would do..I would e-Mail Larry at  [e-mail]

and ask him about ordering.

Smokey Valley's own website suggests they are available.

Smokey Valley's own website suggests they are available.  Moreover it says it was updated April 2017 so this is not a matter of one of those ghost websites. 

Walthers is really cutting down on inventory and perhaps by not available they mean, we haven't ordered any for a while.  I know that was the case with some Adair Shops weights I wanted last year.  When Walthers special ordered them for me they came right away, but they only ordered that amount and the website continued to say unavailable after that.

Of course this article has probably caused a small flury of interest in the product so as happens from time to time, Walthers' current conservative ordering philosophy rears back and bites them.

Note that the website has an email where you can contact the boss.

In the May MR there is an article on replacing handrails. This could have been a really useful article. There is just one huge problem. The author used Smokey Valley handrail stanchions. According to Walthers' website these are not available and there is no information about when they will be available. The manufacturer's website gives no indication as to how to order the parts. What good is an article when the materials needed are not available?
