VERNIER ADJUSTING PLATE

are the vernier plates for the torsion bar adjustment handed?
ca'nt seem to find a clear picture in the manuals and the ones i've seen all seem to be universal.
the ones ive taken of the car are both the same, could someone have messed up?

window frames

has any one ever made a set of front window frames for a 2 door in stainless steel. all i ever seem to find are chrome plated steel ones that are advertised as stainless steel.
i always use the magnet test when i find a pair.
if it sticks its mild steel
