"67 front spindle paint detail

[Garry B.]

During my recent BG judging I was told that the bosses (flat, oval surfaces) on my front spindles should not have the orange paint and should be bare. How many will I find per side? I haven't looked at them closely yet, (I think I can see two without removing the tire) but do I assume that all of these surface sections should not have paint? Easy fix for sure, but want to do it right. Thanks.

Garry,

They were painted before machining, so any milled flat areas should be free of paint. I'll try to find some photos of those areas a bit later.

Rich, I appreciate your looking into it and sending along any photos you might have. I will most likely be able to figure it out once I remove the wheel and tire, but a little guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Garry a few from my records, a '65 coupe. Note the lower(and upper) ball joint flat milled areas also.
