[WPTA] TR2-TR3 upholstery hardware

 Vic,
Who do you use for hardware plating these days? I have used East Liberty Electroplating in Glenshaw for zinc plating with decent results but my last batch took a huge price jump.

 Good morning
As you may (or may not) know, the early Triumphs used a #4 cup or flush washer with a slotted oval head screw to attach the door cards and other aspects of the interior. Moss does not have these and supplies a #6 phillips head screw with a #6 finish washer (that has a raised ridge around the outer diameter). 
I was buying these cup washers from a company that specializes in auto supplies and they are no longer able to get them. I've spent hours searching the internet and speaking with various distributors and it seems that the only way to get new ones is to have them made.
I have been able to clean up some old used parts, but need additional units. I wanted to ask if anyone has some old hardware laying around that I could get my hands on. I may be having some "baby Tenax" snaps replated and may be able to throw these in with the batch. 
In any event, I am looking for about 40 of these small #4 cup washers. The attached pic shows a new one and a used one side b6y side. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
ThxVic
