The plated clamps I bought in bulk directly from Dorman in 1983 were in the
$.30 to .75 range from 1 1/4 to 3". The plating is still fair and no nasty
rust, just light and still on the surface. I removed most of the stacks a
few years ago but with a bit of wire brushing and a shot of ZeroRust I'll
use the hardware again when I reinstall some of them rebuilt for WARC bands.
