    Here are several 40 DLX nose pieces. Left one is a new Drake with very slight flaw in chrome-hard to see. Next one is a Vintique-fits hood as well as Drake and orig ones. Next two are Ford. Some pitting and need rechroming. Last one I sent out they destroyed it by polishing most all ribs away on nose-no thx! Any ideas as where to go for quality work? I have called a few places but afraid they will ruin these as well--there aren't many of these out there. Thank you IMG_0857.jpg IMG_0858.jpg

    What is best to use to replace the rivet for the bottom latch part? Do you use an actual rivet or a barrel screw? I have two that both need to have this done.

    Check Fred at Southside obsolete or Kathy at Andrews Ford farm for an NOS Ford one. Fred has his new website of NOS parts going, google Southside Obsolete or he’s Barnfind08 on Instagram. Kathy is andrewsfordfarm on instagram
