Hardware plating
 

Does anyone know or have a list of what all the different hardware should be plated for my 69 z? Or where I could go to find it? Tried to do some searching but it seemed to be mostly one or two different items. The Jerry m book only lists a few different items... Thanks

Re: Hardware plating
 

Which hardware are you referring to ?

Re: Hardware plating
 

if you have an assembly manual and the amk catalog, its not too bad too see what the bolts were with head markings. most were phosphate with a few clear zinc such as the ground straps and washer bottle bracket

I would say most of the hardware under the hood was / is phosphate plated

I know most of the fender hardware was phos. But when it comes to the power brakes, wiper motor, engine accessories, voltage reg, horn relay and engine ( and many more) I know there was a variety of different plating used...some is gold, some is silver, some was Grey phos some was black phos.....in the end which is which and where!!!

Re: Hardware plating
 

There is different types of PHOSPHATE Plating..........Gray, Black, Charcoal is NOT a type !!!!!!

My research says that MANGANESE Phosphate was the Original OEM plating on Automotive Fasteners

ZINC Phosphate plating was used on many others brackets, etc etc
