    1963: plated items

    Hi all,

    I have a box with parts which need replating for my 1963 car and I need to sort out what needs what plating, could you please help to verify if I got it right (out of my mind):

    door strikers and strikers shims: Cadmium
    door lower and upper roller track Zinc
    door opening mechanism Zinc
    door latching mechanism Zinc
    hood hinge Zinc
    female hood latch assembly Zinc
    hood support Zinc or Cad?
    Clutch Cross Shaft Zinc
    Gas Tank Cap Cad
    fan shroud/radiator top mounting bracket ?
    thanks for your help,
    Rob

    Rob -

    Your list looks good to me, except:

    1. Hardly anything on a midyear was actually cadmium plated - most were zinc. Most drawings gave the supplier the option of zinc or cadmium, and zinc was FAR less costly. Few suppliers chose a more costly method when the business was bid and placed based on least cost.

    2. The fan shroud/upper radiator bracket was painted (semi-gloss black primer).
