Default '34 Ford header panel brass grommets

I am trying to finish up my '34. I installed the windshield header panel and need to locate the brass grommets that go in the holes for the wiper motor controls.
I have not been able to find them on the usual sources.

If it matters to you when you find one, originally they along with header panel attachment screws and their countersunk washer had a S-15 - oxidized finish which resembles dark bronze. The idea being not to have a distracting bright finish in the driver's line of sight.

Three cheers for Michael!


Mike and I were just exchanging p.m.s on that subject and I was hopeful you found out how Roy created that finish. I had my own method, but I recall that Roy's was simpler.

DavidG,

I have a supply of them in S15 but after they are gone the newer ones will be S2.... I finally figured out how he achieved that finish, but I am unable to have it done..
