Brian,
There is only one company making the depressed head rivet cap.

There are 2 companies making the raised rivet style  cap, I carry the better of the 2 and have been for over 2 years. And not one single complaint of quality issues. Unlike the first one actually shown in the above pic. I had to replace approx 50% of them due to oxidizing, and some were on the car  less than 2 weeks.

Bill,

I am not saying that you sell junk as I know what kind of standards you have especially with attention to detail.  That is what keeps me coming back to purchasing stuff from you.  The 70 style cap that I have, I had on the car for a couple years now, probably over 2 yrs now.  As to who I got it from....its too long ago now to remember.  I've found that anything that is plated, regardless of zinc, phosphate, or cadium, if it is exposed to moisture in the air, over time it will oxidize.  This is why I have started putting a coat of clear on these parts to prevent or at least slow down the oxidizing process.
