Thanks, guys, for the positive response and good vibes! For some odd reason, this year I've been really hitting those solid bodies hard, with more to come next year, as time permits.

They're 5/8" stainless steel hole plugs, available at larger hardware stores. Picked 'em up at Ace. As you can imagine, the original ones were pretty dicked-up.

JB, your comment means a lot. For some, the Kauffman is an acquired taste, but you "got it", and that warms my heart this Holiday Season!

have fun restoring and it will be fun to see the "new" ric version
