Looking for parts made of "unobtainium"

Dan 201, yes the plug is "L" shaped, thanks for looking.

Redfastback, I checked the paint supply store and they do indeed have the Landau black. now I just have to decide if it is worth work to mask it off for the little bit that is visible when assembled.

Redfish, that's a great idea! I never even thought of the after market door ding strip. I haven't found anything at any price on E-Bay, so that is probably a good way to go. I understand about the corrosion problem and will watch it, but 35+ years with the female factor says she will have those gills on eventually, so why fight it!
