Thank you very much guys for the compliments.
Concerning the variations on the washers the answer is yes.
I have come across green tint, red tint, black plating and clear zinc.
I also have nos latches and safety hooks as well as the pictures members
have so graciously emailed me. I had a decision to take and I decided to
do them as what I believe to be factory assembly parts. It would seem that
the nos ones would be over the counter but I am not positive at this point.
Typically what I will do is check the clients' part with some investigative
observation and proceed from there. I will entertain special needs but I
have to try and contain the variations in order to control the costs and
inventory of parts.
I did a 71 Roadrunner rad latch today. Look at the differences from the above
latch. Tomorrow I will do an NOS duplicate with red rivets and another with green.
