Re: hardware re plating. What is correct what is not?
Hi Richard
Can you tell me what the width of the material is? If you could post a picture of the back of the material.. I am thinking about having some reproduced.
Since we have access to such an original car , we should take advantage of it to try to reproduce of the parts not available.
I am also working on having the dash corner pieces reproduced. They are missing on most cars. Richard if you could post a picture..
Regards
Hervé

Many of these top latches have been chromed but it appears that on 3 very original late model spiders I've seen they are not chromed. Note strap behind.
Also trunk mat material underneath.
