Given that they will be plated I did not see the need in going with stainless, however I did have them quoted in stainless.

PS these will “likely” retail for $38 a complete set in cadmium plated. If I went with stainless they would have likely been $50 or so...

If I went overseas they could have been produced cheap, but I’m trying to support the American industry as best as possible.
Good on ya Michael, and thank you for all you do for us old Ford V-8, 4 banger, and heck.....those six cylinder guys as well :-)
