The ones with the knurled edges. Mine do not look great, I see that Moss and VB has them. How good do they look? Has anyone gotten them?
 
Just replaced mine with ones from Moss. They look ok, but nothing to brag about. Chrome looks kinda thin to me...
 
If you are not in a real big hurry, I could make a set out of stainless steel.
 
I have some extras, I think original, the chrome is not too good on them either - a couple have some rust. The best are installed on ncbugeye. I'll take a look tomorrow, too exhausted to go look tonight.

Stainless steel would be the deluxe way to go, but not original spec, or course.
 
That's the problem of course they do not chrome well as the nurled part tends to get polished down. I should think polished SS is the prefered way to go. I have lots of time as they will only be hole fillers till next fall anyway.
 
I dont have the tooling cut for a mass run of the screws, but it wont take too much more time to knock out a couple of sets with the "saw and file" machine.
 
Saw and file machine? Lathe, milling machine? ??
 
You wouldnt expect them to be made with a dremel tool...
 
No, but I have no clue really how one would go about that job. It's all magic.
