Default Discolored center locks

I have some discolored red center locks. Does any know a place I could send them to so they could be reanodized with the stamped labels as well?

Anodizing is fine, but it hides the factory etching.

I’m not finding this thread that says the Gen III centerlocks work on the 997, anyone have a link?

nvm I think I found it

https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-and-gt2rs-forum/1270977-992-gt3-centerlock-system-upgraded-front-brake-line-also-improved.html

All roads say that the 992 CL is better and safer than the 997 and compatible, however there is no indication anywhere they have made a red 992 CL

Euro Parts West were able to source a set earlier this year, but yes they are hard to come by.
