Question....what's the correct factory finish for a 914 fuel cap? Should it be yellow cad plated or natural finish?

Well for me, since I'm going through a complete restoration and will be sending parts off for plating someday anyway, I would want to include my fuel cap to put it to original. That said, look at the first survivor example (URY914's car) in the suvivors thread. That cap looks just slightly shinier than your bottom pic while all of the latches, spare tire bolt, etc. have a nice bright yellow cad finish. That suggests the fuel cap didn't just tarnish with age and has always been natural.
