Title: Hood Latch Support and In Board Lights
Post by: 67GT500#1594 on May 22, 2021, 07:30:45 PM
I'm currently restoring my car and after layers of paint removal from the hood latch support bracket and in board lights bracket. What finish is this bracket? What finish are the headlight buckets as well?

The hardware holding my buckets on appears to be original as well, what finish are these? Everything was painted over and over!! I believe the hood latch and striker are a phosphate finish. Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!!

Regards,
Matt

What has everyone used to replace the plastic sleeving on the in board light harness? Mine is a 5/16" thin wall sleeve, almost like pneumatic tubing? Having some time finding such an animal!

Also, didn't we have a member here making the wiring harness clips that hold the wiring harness in place with self sticky tape?? I can seemed to track those down either!

Thanks guys for the help!!
