Need help with front ashtray 2000 FIAT Dino coupe

Post by bhiggins2 »

I took my front ashtray apart for re-chroming. Usually I take photos before and after disassembly and all parts are tagged and labelled and photographed before going to be chromed or polished. I wasn't going to pay to have the bottom of the ashtray receptacle chromed, as no one will see it and I can chrome powder coat that for a lot less than real chrome plate. Somehow, I failed to take the photos [or lost them] of the ashtray before disassembly and before the parts went to the chrome shop. Attached are the photos of the pieces that came back from the chrome shop.

The rear bumpers were straightened/polished and license plate light bezel was also re-chromed at the same time. It appears to me, that I am missing a piece. There large top bezel for the whole ashtray, there is the top, the bezel for the top, but there are some tabs [see yellow arrows in the second attached photo] which should be holding another part. I have the bag with the drilled out rivets, springs and ashtray base, so it is highly unlikely that I kept a part and didn't put it in the bag with the parts that were not chromed. Can someone confirm that I am in fact missing a part, and if possible, take a photo of that part for me so I can have my chrome plater search for it?
Thanks, Ben.
