Re: Chrome Faceplate???
All kinds of sheet metal over at McMaster Carr. You will have to cut it down from the nearest stock size. Make several!

Re: Chrome Faceplate???
Buy leaded sheet brass. Do not buy half-hard brass.
Leaded cuts and engraves really well, and will take a high polish for plating. Nickel first, then chrome.
Ask you engraver what he likes before you buy anything though.

Damn, I just looked again, the chrome is on the back for better electrical contact.
Steel
