Title: Robbie pads,any thoughts?
Post by: db-oldskool on January 20, 2007, 09:22 AM

Does anybody have an idea of what year/s these were made/used? ???
Probably not 81/82ish,most likely newer? ???
If newer what would be era correct for an 81/82 Robbie? :)

Yeh, late 80's early 90's those pads.

The very early Robinsons were imported by Alans up until 84, and the Alans Robinson team had the pads with poppers on them not valcro I think.

Get intouch with Alan, he'll tell you exactly what the 81/82 ones were. :daumenhoch:

They're early 90's pads. Most likely from 91 onwards.

Early 90's. They matched the decals on the 92 Amtrac I had.
