I can get it black oxide coated. I need to follow up with my plating guy.
I think I can get it to lay flush more. If I bend the radius in a press. I need to work on that tool.
Plastic could be added I suppose, but it would cost.

I think I am going to make it wider, at least a the top, to slide into the exiting groove. One of the challenges I had was using a sheet stock that was strong enough. The original metal contact is very thin and I don't think it would have been strong enough and I had a hard time getting some. This material I had.
This material is nearly the same thickness of the groove width. It fits snugly. With a little filing, it will fit.
What do you think?
