Normally we do but in the case of these seats since they required a complete overhaul I did not.

Mine was cracked but easily repairable unlike so many used ones.

Do you need a gas cap? Is it a deep or shallow design?

I do not need one as I just bought one off the site but thanks for asking. My original was not to bad to begin with but elected to replace it anyway with an NOS one.

Rick, I had my original vent balls re-chromed and black resprayed.
if those repros affect your sleep to much.

Possibly the "Mirror Lady"? I have had mixed reviews about her work but as far as I know, she is the only one doing them. I might reach out to her and see if she can simply supply the mirror glass and I can do the reassembly.

No lost sleep at all in this case. The repos are actually not too bad other than they seemed to be metric so it required a little thicker felt ring to hold them tight and I had to chrome one piece of the vent that was not chromed. Once completed I was very happy with them.

Your floors look better than most paint work ever seen..
