    Anyone have a decent one?
    Thanks

    I think it might be www.thepartsplaceinc.com that sells such a repro lid.

    Rivman --

    Is it a perfectly faithful reproduction, or are the ridges and lip and everything slightly different -- I can't tell from the photos they show. Just want to be certain.

    They look like the real thing, very nice quality and the price is reasonable. They do not have the seal however. Kevin

    Frank - Get a price on rechroming, and what's it gonna look like ? :Do No:

    Steve - As I recall it was a perfect match, - but I'll dig up my original one and compare them, and get back to you.
    I did have to re & re the rubber seal off my original, as Kevin pointed out. :TU:

    No problem on re-usinbg the seal -- mine's good.

    The $60 is better than the rechrome price i can get down here, and I won't have to worry about old pits or scratches showing through. But I really want it to be correct, just on principle.
