It would seem more trouble than it was worth to send some of the scuff plates through the paint line at the factory and not all of them (if you were going to do any at all). Mind you, they did do some pretty strange things early on in the FE range, but stuff was pretty standardised by FC. cheers RET Title: Re: Scuff plates Post by: Sarge on June 30, 2004, 07:56:48 AM 99% sure all where cad plated.

Title: Re: Scuff plates Post by: mcl1959 on June 30, 2004, 09:55:52 AM 100 % cad plated. the repro ones are available in stainless or plain steel through Rare Spares. Made by the same guy, but he now sells through R/S
