Hyde
Yes, they are aluminum body washers with the rivot holes drilled by hand by eye to keep asymetry.
Trying to post each small step, most of the suspension work is less visual and time consuming. Now I should be back in action...
Original Raydyot going in along with gas tank, final brake lines and radiator hoses....
Fluidyne installed with old Corvette unit to be tried after SU.

Man... this thing is SWEET! Jeff, what's up with that shiney new steering wheel? Awesome! In my book, the price is worth it if you get what you want. You will have to give me your contact at Motolita. I want to order the correct wheel for the GT40.

Loved the Hertz gold myself.......... 
Planned Rangoon Red until I saw 3021 after freshen up. Loved it so much it changed my direction on the color. 
True story:
The rear plate frame was originally used by Carter Getty on 3047 (Hertz gold 427) as it was sold to Jack Launtz. Jack was not a fan of the frame so it landed on the wall as a "maybe to use someday part" then decades later after his passing landed in mailbox. It spent a year on the Cooper in every day use until I realized it was not a recent repop so I boxed it up to use on this creation. Oddly enough it once again has landed on a Hertz gold Cobra.
Kinda neat...  |

He's right... that thing needs "the treatment!"
Looking good

A couple coats if hand rubbed lacquer would do nicely. It would wear into a nice gloss & then wear through, giving it a well used look. Send it to me, I'll fix ya up.
