I knew that report was pretty through, but they measured the Anodized layer
on the BEAUTY RINGS?  WOW!

Did they count the strands in the carpet too?

The original VW beauty ring has an average anodised layer thickness of 6.6
microns, according to a contemporary motor industry test report on a '69
automatic Fastback. I guess the after market ones will be less, but it might
be interesting to find out.

That's equivalent to 0.26 thousandths of an inch (assuming I'm converting
millionths of a meter into into thousandths of an inch correctly!

Good point, Dave.
Does anyone know what the quality, anodising, mil thickness, etc. of the
Beauty Rings that CIP1 sells for $54.48 are a good product?
