Plating goodness...and can you spot the liar?

Got a batch back from plating, some cad and some zinc. Looks perdy...

The pic doesnt capture the part at all. It looks like a piece of art.

One of these was the gas cap...the other was the oil cap. One of these is a liar. can you spot which one? Hint: OHNE means "without."

Maybe someone "helped" it turn from ohne to mit?

I used New Toro in Vaughan, corner of 407 and Jane streets. Im embarassed to say how much it cost, though I will say Shaq gave me money back when he found out it was for a Porsche...the first time I've encountered a reverse Porsche tax.

And yes, the cap with the hole in it is vented. I didnt mark which one it was but I'm assuming it was the gas cap and not the oil cap. Ohne luftnung means "without vent" but clearly thats not the case!

Thanks for the info john. I see you are looking for a 69. There is a guy just north of Fergus who is wanting to sell some of his toys. He has a 69 1/2 , 911s numbers matching for sale as well as a 356A. I was looking to buy it but he never came up with a price, but he called me 2 weeks after I got my 911 and now has a price in mind. He lives in Ottawa most of the year but comes here once in a while. I can get his info if you like. He is a friend of a friend.
