Idntknowpr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I am looking for two porthole brackets for my 1957 Buick Roadmaster. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source for them or PM me if you have a couple to sell. I have attached a couple of photos for reference.

g-g-g0 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Feel free to see if Fireball can help you. Mine are “as removed” from a car and are in similiar condition as your picture. In fact I will need to hit them with a wire brush before taking pics. Pics are not going to happen today as I will not be going to my shop today. Went out to get the mail and everything is covered in a sheet of ice. Let me know if you still want pics in a day or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dei Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would take the used ones and drop them in some vinegar for awhile. Have had great luck cleaning them up like that and then painting with a rust paint (provided the threads are still good). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only able to salvage six of the eight needed for the car. I just watched a few videos on electroplating that i may attempt once i get the parts cleaned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
