The thing is stuff like dome nuts, or otherwise, you can probably get locally and doesn't have to be bought off a dedicated scooter dealer. You can see what you're getting then.

With whom?
Isn't 'vintage' merely a description of a vehicle, and the metal that studs are made from independent of this?
