RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/GH.1/IB.8.12.36. We presume that if the part E.84742 is made in Dixtampo, it will then have to be chromium plated. Before sinking a die we suggest chromium plating one of the existing Staybrite parts to see whether any difference in colour with this and the radiator shutters is noticeable.
