'34 Ford header panel brass grommets
I am trying to finish up my '34. I installed the windshield header panel and need to locate the brass grommets that go in the holes for the wiper motor controls.
I have not been able to find them on the usual sources. |

Re: '34 Ford header panel brass grommets
If it matters to you when you find one, originally they along with header panel attachment screws and their countersunk washer had a S-15 - oxidized finish which resembles dark bronze. The idea being not to have a distracting bright finish in the driver's line of sight.

Three cheers for Michael!
Mike and I were just exchanging p.m.s on that subject and I was hopeful you found out how Roy created that finish. I had my own method, but I recall that Roy's was simpler. |

DavidG,
I have a supply of them in S15 but after they are gone the newer ones will be S2.... I finally figured out how he achieved that finish, but I am unable to have it done.. |
