Default Original brass plates.

If memory serves me right some 10 years ago some widow in Toronto was selling such NOS shift plates on Ebay for a resonable cost.... she must have liquidated a few dozens of them...... I know I bought one of them and paid her in US cash to boot. They were in excellent conditions and came wrapped in old oily brown craft paper.

Default Too shinny.....

Even dull brass will reflect to much is you are using the onboard camera flash...... use ambient light or drape a kleenex over you flash to diffuse the light.
