I've been getting the bright work on my '58 ready to take to the platers but I had an issue with the Yankee 331 rear marker housing==-it has a small crack that needs repairing before replating.
I asked the owner of the shop and was told I could drill a small lhole to stop the crack, then repair the crack with solder on the inside of the housing---which was how I had planned to make the repair,---and more importantly, that would be compatible with the shop's replating process.
SInce the last two Yankee 331s I found on eBay went for about $100 each----and one of those even had a crack---I'm happy that I can fix what I already have thumbs
