I think any factory part that has lasted 48 years should get a chance to continue on whenever possible. Thanks for the info, still would like to redo these.
We'd like to think that, but a 48 cast zinc year old part may not survive the time in a de-chromate tank, and if it does, it still has a few more processes to go in electrolysis plating, a lot of platers won't guarantee your parts integrity, plus the high cost associated with potmetal repair plating may soon have you looking at the repros, I've used both the E and B body latch repros, very nice in shape, finish and function
