    what parts are yellow zink plated on a 70 911

    Hi what parts are originally yellow zink plated on a 1970 911. Anyone have a list or please post pictures.

    Thanks Rasmus

    Too broad a question to be able to answer accurately. Generally on a 1970 most nuts, bolts and washers are yellow plated. Fixings, Norma clamps, linkage to carbs or MFI in an around the engine are "yellow" as is the fan pulley. There are exceptions: front and rear lid latches are "silver", screws to fix threshold strips are stainless, latch striker plates are "silver" but the fixings are "yellow", hinge bolts "yellow". Any list would be extensive. In my restoration of a 1970 S I just identified the colour from each bit removed from the car.

    A better question would be what is not yellow sink ? Follow Sask.'s info , but the door hinge bolts are body color . The hardware for the hood and deckled to the hinges is clear .

    Your point about the door hinge bolts is correct but they are yellow plated first.

    For 1970, as a general rule, all fasteners outside the passenger compartment were finished in yellow zinc. Exceptions are screws for the headlight rims, horn grills, and signal lenses (chrome), and brake caliper attachment bolts, wheel studs (black), and wheel nuts (varies). Trunk and engine cover latch hardware is clear zinc. Door, trunk, and engine cover hinge bolts and fender attachment bolts are body color.

    In the interior, most fasteners that are showing have a silver finish, either chrome, stainless or aluminum. The exceptions are the Allen head bolts and washers attaching the front seats, tunnel cover screws, upper front screws for the forward map pockets, and door stay bolts (yellow zinc).

    Other parts finished in yellow zinc: brake calipers, brake disc covers and attaching brackets, brake lines, carburetors and accelerator linkage, coil bracket, e-brake spacer tubes, gas and oil filler caps, oil filler tube, oil dipstick, fan pulleys, distributor clamp and spacer, and springs on upper trunk and engine cover latches.

    Both the car and my memory have faded over my 50 years of owning my 1970 911T, so I am hoping others can correct and refine this as necessary.
