I am at the point of plating parts for my '30 68B Cabriolet. I have searched the Judging Standards, the MARC web site, and the Cabriolet web site to find the finishes for certain items with only a little luck. Can anyone help with the following:
1. exterior door lock (where the key goes); Chrome or nickel?
2. door post stiker plate (double wedge that the latch hits); plated or paint?
3. door latch/lock mechanism; I believe plated for cabriolet, but JS. says painted?
4. female dovetails are nickel, but does the rubber and spring have to come out for plating? Got these from A&L and the spring is too big to pull out of the notch, I would have to unbend the metal to get it out.
