Zinc Plating - Original colour / finish
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2015 2:35 pm
Hi,
I am getting the various fasteners etc. on my '79 Z model re-plated. I want to get them back to the correct original finish / "colour", so is there any info on what the original finish was?
Most of the fasteners are silver / yellow finish. However, there are others that look "black" - such as some of the dome headed bolts / nuts, or the allen key headed bolts . This could be tarnishing, but were these originally black, or "olive drab" or some other colour?
Also, what finish are the carb insulator retaining bands? Were they black originally?
thanks,
Paul.
