Fred i used Dills back in the 80's 90's. they are very nice and hard to put a set together. ACME i seem to like because there's about maybe 35 sets most n.o.s. stems and caps. I can say "NO" one will go out of their way to remake the valve caps or stems.Bridgeports i see on ebay forsale at $800.00 a set. Acme n.o.s. stems/caps and bridgewasher a full set on ebay $75.00 minus dust covers .A set of dust covers [5] i charged $75.00/$15.00@. plus plating for the whole set came to $210.00 total... I had a nice set of TR83 Schraders /2 being n.o.s. for the car but the other 3 were so-so. I want to get the car done in my life time and it was bad enough at 7 years.That's how long it took me to find a set of correct matched Schrader's. Hell Schrader has type 1, 2 and 3. Had a nice set of n.o.s. Schraders TR83-A[31's] at $125.00 ..Bought them from a guy in CA. and sold them to a guy in CA. same amount of money. Not to many people out there doing a Fine Point car and think its the part problem.
