 Vic,
Who do you use for hardware plating these days? I have used East Liberty El=
ectroplating in Glenshaw for zinc plating with decent results but my last b=
atch took a huge price jump.

I have my chrome done at Lakeside Plating in Ohio. I have used a company in
Sagerstown that did anadozied my TR3 grill. I am speaking with them about
an electrolysis nickel plating that I may try for some of my small parts.

I know that Albert at The Roadster Factory had a very good supplier of those washers and the slot head screws before the fire. It may be worth it to give him a call.

      I was buying these cup washers from a company that specializes in auto supplies and they are no longer able to get them. I've spent hours searching the internet and speaking with various distributors and it seems that the only way to get new ones is to have them made.

      I have been able to clean up some old used parts, but need additional units. I wanted to ask if anyone has some old hardware laying around that I could get my hands on. I may be having some "baby Tenax" snaps replated and may be able to throw these in with the batch.&nbsp;

      In any event, I am looking for about 40 of these small #4 cup washers. The attached pic&nbsp;shows a new one and a used one side b6y side. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
