Wow, I inadvertently screwed up an uber rare part!

I disassembled the hydraulic preload adjuster for my 91 RSS to spec out new orings, strip and re-anodize, then rebuild the unit. I was using Caswell anodize stripper and set the parts in the bottom of the solution container, whereas they probably should have been suspended.

The problem is that when the parts are sitting on the bottom of the container; the color being removed is allowed to resettle on the parts leading me to believe that the color had not been completely removed. So, I inadvertently left the parts in the solution long enough to eat away enough of the parent material to render all four parts undersize and useless.

I know it’s a long shot, but I thought I would post this to see if someone might have one lying around that they would consider parting with. My only other option is to make the pieces from scratch.
