Screens for Vents '68 Ski Sporter

[green16]

I had the hardware recromed by Frankford plating and it looks beautiful. However, the vents need to be done over again because the screens are not in the vent caps. My mistake as I assumed that the screens could just be replated too. They were in pretty good shape. They came back separated from the vents and some are now ripped so I need to replace them. If I remember correctly they are nickel (correct me if I am wrong, ?brass). Can anyone tell me where to get some or does anyone have any around they would like to sell.
I imagine the vants have to be restripped, plated nickel, screens brazed or welded in, then rechromed.
Thank you,
John Teixeira

...or,...check with Rich. He was making the screens and vents as well. Don't know if they are the same as yours though.

The screens the rich sells for $5/ea are a perfect match to the original!

Thank you.
I think I'll start by calling Rich. What do you think about silicone/epoxy for attaching the screens, as he suggests? If it is acceptable, this would save me time and $.

I think I'll do the same but buy the screens from Rich if they are the plated Nickel or brass.
