I bought a pair from Maryland Mustang in February last year but only installed them last week. The brand name is "KOA"; the chromework is excellent and they fit and function perfectly. And best of all, they look simply stunning!
They didn't come with gaskets; I had to buy those separately.

Bought 4 pieces by NPD a few years back, they were at the time really affordable, bought first a pair, around 20buxx a piece and I was so surprised by the quality that I ordered a new pair right away, afraid they'd be gone for my 71! They are on my 73 for a few years now and they are still like new.
The only thing that was wrong was the height of the rubber stops behind the lever, causing the handle not to be flush. A sharp cutter and 1/2 of that extra removed and it's perfect. Probably one of the best repop I have seen in past years. Better metal and finish than the originals and very close to the original shape.
