What is the proper finish for the front beam adjusting levers?

[preS]

Are these adjusters supposed to be black painted or plated?

BTW for the guys knowing a lot, what company with a W made these? (I don’t know the answer).

Thanks

Phosphated

Thanks (for confirming what I thought to see).

BTW I visited your painter and if you have not found another sample by next summer (..) I might have worked my way through the mesh. It all depends on when I can I get the rolling body out and make space to move boxes.

The small dust shield bracket silver cad plated or ?

Thanks,

Casting = phosphate
Sheetmetal bracket = black paint

[preS]

Thanks.

These parts are supposed to be silver (like the rear defroster tubes) painted?

Clear/silver zinc

You are a pro (to my standards ) so out of curiosity have you seen this picture?



Since it doesn’t have the short tubes for the protection cover its a little newer (late 65 and up) but the finish looks so smooth and has a certain thickness?

Richard, those factory pictures were often airbrushed. I can only comment for Nov/Dec '65 and those were silver zinc with no signs of any coating.

Post number 8, typical retouched (air brushed) photo with brushed in highlights for printing.

Note the lack of texture on the support rod. I think they removed the short cross tubes from a early 1965 photo.

The three variation to this under steering pan from 1964 thru 1967. The side bolted bolt fits into the short cross tube.
