Hey all - I feel like I’ve scoured the whole of the internets and I can not find anywhere that sells a chrome control plate to fit over a ‘60s to modern P Bass control cavity. I’m looking for one with the traditional 3 holes. Guitar parts resource used to selll one but it’s been out of stock forever. They kind of look like this:

I don’t care if the mounting screws line up - happy to drill new ones.
Anyone have an idea where I could find this part? I know WD makes one as well but it seems the consensus on TB is that these don’t fit properly.

Make one out of a 3mm carbon fiber or kevlar sheet, then paint it chrome if you prefer it to be chrome. There are several chrome paints for plastics that when done correctly will stand side by side with a triple dipped plated part, and are durable enough to take anything you’d normally put a control plate through.
