Latest updates, for anyone interested;
The screw for the scuff plate arrived today. It was expensive, but I like that it looks like the one that would have been there originally.
And, I have the outer bag in the bathtub with some liquid Tide. It may not come out as good as a machine washing would have done, but a lot of dirt did come out. The water was instantly brown. Maybe I'll drain this water, after some soaking and swishing, and wash it a second time. We'll see. My back is already yelling at me for leaning over the tub.
It would be wonderful if the splotch of white paint would come off in the wash. But, it doesn't seem likely.
