What is the finish on the seat tilt adjuster? Is it chrome or just a mat finish steel.

Definitely not chrome. Just steel with no paint I can see. It does discolor or get surface rust over time.

IIRC that's a flat silver zinc plate finish on it in the pic above.

If you're needing to refinish yours, then you can group other similar finish parts & take them to your local plater, or Bruce Stone/bdstone on here may have some which he's restored.

Are there replacement knobs available for the seat tilt adjuster?

Hi, where did you get the boot for your hand break? That looks good.
