The very last, but not the least item I needed to complete this restoration were original lid bumpers. Well looky looky!
I went round and round looking for these at the usual places like Grainger, McMaster, etc .... but nothing even close. Stuff that would maybe work, and all only in black. Not the light gray that they originally came as. And if you know anything about me, I couldn't have that.
So in the usual self fashion, I did a copy cat. I added a thread over in Shoppers Square if anyone would like a set of these.
