    Reverse light switch bracket

    What is the correct finish on the reverse light bracket on a 70 MT?

    Mine is bare steel but NOS seem to be bright zinc. I see no remnants of bright zinc on the original.


    Thanks,


    Bill

    Bill, I think the bracket is the same as mid year which I have see as finish of zinc without any chromate so it should not be brite.

      I never saw one that was anything but zinc (or possibly cadmium) plated. However, the original brackets were a very dull zinc whereas later replacements are a very shiny zinc.

      The bracket, GM #3864296, was first used for the 1965 model year. Believe it or not, it's still available from GM to this very day, almost 50 years after it was originally released! But, as I mentioned, it's very shiny zinc now.

        Thanks Joe and Gene.

        That is why I asked. I discovered that GM still has the bracket available but it is bright zinc.

        I will leave mine as is.

          My findings tell me that they are a clear zinc finish that is silver with a sheen. Not glossy, but brigther than silver cadmium.
