Is this the place you're thinking of?

I bought this stuff and it did a nice job on the knobs, did not try it on
bakelite.

Somewhere on the web, I ran into a site that had a list of people that make
products for Triumphs and sell on their own.  I think it had Joe Curry
listed and some others.

One of the items I remember was a "paint" for restoring bakelite from brown
to black.

I am pretty sure I bookmarked it, but I have not been able to find it.  
Dose anyone else  know the site?
