Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. As a matter of interest I was quoted $250.00 at a local auto trans shop. I have priced some from the UK much more reasonable.

Re: Door Tread Plates
Thanks for the replies. It seems like they were a mat/ satin finish from the factory. I will try some very fine steel wool and metal polish.

Re: Door Tread Plates
Hi All,
The tread plates are screwed in place on my 64 sedan, Can any body advise what sort of finish they should have? Mine seem to have a dull diagonal lined finish. would they have had a polished finish or a satin finish?
