[DeTomaso] Acorn Nuts

[Pantera 007]

I'll give them a test if I have not already, I'll look up my notes...
As my cost is over $1 each (BEFORE polishing) I'm willing to check options,
but
I've found MANY sources for less cost parts.... but they are CHEAPER in
quality too.

All stainless is not the same.  Typically "You get what you pay for", is
true here.

I'll let the metallurgists on the forum debate the variations and their
merits!

(Alloys, nickel content, magnetic, etc...)
