When dealing with ANY plater, ALWAYS include a picture of ALL your parts (per that order) and be certain to tell them that you have a copy of the same picture at home. Platers are notorious for losing parts, or putting them in the wrong customer's bin.

An example of the picture I included with the windshield frame of my 57 Healey:

Note: that's no longer my address, so no threat there.

Randy, I know how that works first hand! I lost a set of cherry Harley wheel spokes to a plater in Illinois. What I receved was NOT what I sent. When i questioned them over the phone I got a lot of lame excuses. Live n learn! Tom L
