I'm trying to determine what parts were originally plated and which parts were painted. The parts vault has been very helpful so far, but I couldn't find what I was after for these parts in particular. I'd like to update the parts vault with the determinations from this thread.
So was this part painted or plated? If plated, was it bright silver (blue) or yellow chromate? Or maybe the answer is neither and it was black oxide or another type of finish? Right now I am rebuilding the suspension so all my questions revolve around those parts: 91434103300 Change Lever I suspect plated with yellow chromate, because of this photo here. 91134111500 Adjusting Screw This threads into the change lever shown above. My guess is black oxide. 91433151501 / 91433151601 Plates 91433153303 Intermediate Layer (shim) 99908402902 M14x1.5 locking nuts for the trailing arm pivots (the ones with the weird slit). That's all for now. Thanks, -Derek |

Thanks for the perspectives. I've spent a bit more time looking at the cars on BAT and it's just super hard to tell the difference between road grime, undercoating, rust, paint and plaiting.
This shot here for example shows the plates, and it is definitely a different color than the surrounding trailing arm bracket that is painted. But hard to conclude much beyond that. I did some ebay searches in hopes of finding NOS parts for sale. The torsion adjusters all look like a bare casting to my eye. But couldn't find much else conclusive. I'll keep looking and post any updates. |

A post in the garage section shows what appears to be an original trailing arm lock nut with yellow chromate conversion color visible.
