Title: Manual Choke attaching hardware finish
Post by: greekz on May 01, 2020, 10:15:39 PM
In the process of repainting#1134, and getting the assorted hardware re-plated.  I can see what appears to be a faint gold color on the nut and the bolt and nut appear to have been phosphate and oil.  Is this correct for the choke cable?

Thanks,

Greek

Thanks for the pictures.  Do you also happen to know the finish for the nut that attaches the cable to the bracket under the dash and the attaching bolt at the dash?

To me the odd shouldered locking nut looks to be P&O  and the large Phillips headed bolt - zinc  Bright or clear, what ever they used to describe it

For the choke were you looking for the details for a Holley or Autolite carb?  Just trying to be specific since the two are very different and were made by different suppliers and sub cntractors

Or you could buy the parts brand new from Holley. About $17.
