Hey Don, how do you get those creases in the leather?

Can you list a few sizes of strike plates from the 59-66 Kodiaks? Also, could you tell us how many creases were there in the strike plates of each year's model (if they varied)?

Lon I made a roller with 6 washers spaced 1/4" apart that I just roll over the leather.Its best if you wet the leather first with a little water or leather dye.I just cut all 6 line strike plates with my cutter and then trim those down for the year I need.bd
