[WPTA] TR2-TR3 upholstery hardware

[Vic Panza]

I have my chrome done at Lakeside Plating in Ohio. I have used a company in
Sagerstown that did anadozied my TR3 grill. I am speaking with them about
an electrolysis nickel plating that I may try for some of my small parts.

Feel free to give me a call if you'd like to discuss
