I think that the topic here is the disc that goes under the emblem in the center of a flightsweep decklid. If so: Why pay $500,000 to have that reflector repaired? Seems to me that you could have a talented machinist reprduce a new one out of a steel blank and have it turn out PERFECT and ready to be plated. I have not looked at mine lately, but those pot metal folks charge a fortune, and there's no assurance that your restored potmetal won't sprout more dimples in the future. -Kenyon --- Henry Hopkins <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Are you talking about the chrome pieces that > surround a red plastic > reflector on the tips of the rear fins???
