You might have better luck getting an answer if you post this in a different forum that gets more traffic. Maybe the Paint and Body Shop forum. Good luck with the project.

About a year ago I purchased a set off eBay that are cast with reinforcement in them.this guy has a few made here and there. They look good. I think I paid around $60.00 for the set.
I'm going to use them on my 37. I don't think many will spot the difference .




These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.
