The latest issue of the '67 Judging Manual states that the steering linkage is painted semi-gloss "as an assembly". The picture below is what I consider an assembly. The adjusting sleeves are connected to each other with the threaded knuckles, which are supposed to be natural, so how can the linkage be painted as an assembly? I take this to be a very misleading statement and should be corrected.
Anyway I know the five knuckles (yellow arrows) should be a natural finish, as well as the idler arm. What about the relay rod, (blue arrows) should that be natural or painted semi-gloss? Lastly, the steering stabilizer shock, it came in the GM box painted gloss black, is that correct or should it be dark grey like the shock absorbers? The JM makes no mention of what color it should be painted. I'd really like to get this matter straight now, instead of later. Thanks in advance. PT
