Does anyone reproduce the metal base for the rubber door wedges? I am collecting parts as I anticipate getting my zwitter back from the paint shop and realize I do not have any

Well that really makes it confusing..
I have a late 52 zwitter, and an early 55 oval coming soon, and neither have the wedges or any of the hardware. So it seems I will need bumpers and screws for both cars, and the mount plates for the 55 oval, right?
And you are saying the bumper that uses the plate is different than the early bumper that does nt use the plate?
