Cheers...getting there slowly but surely.
Making some of my own bits too. Bodywork didn't have grommets or top hat washers to fix to frame...decided to make my own washers, another 4 to go:)

That coating looks a good match to what was discussed earlier Schmo.

Folk do manage to lose the Top hat bushes and destroy the rubber grommets too.
You have a good solution.

The correct fixing screws are the expensive item...I used to just scan auction sites and snap up job lots if cheap when they
were advertised. I also used to ask breakers if they had any lying about from a stripdown if buying other parts. I regularly got a handful cheap that way. If the chrome is a bit scruffy they can be polished up and clear coated.
