OP
Quoted from kcZ:
How do I clean these?
What are those little black two holed strap pieces called, they go under the screw heads for the switches?
This pile is from the switches on my SBM.
I was thinking about putting them in the tumbler and powercoating in needed but then I thought about replacing them.

Those are called "cover plates" and Pinball Resource has them for just 20 cents each. Use # GTB-A465.
