What is the correct Finish and did it change from year to year for the front
and rear bars and Links?
The front Links a arms Im fairly confident were the Zinc/Cad plating. what about the the bar? The reason I asking was I was looking at refinishing the rear bar but examples I have encountered are black ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Agree w/you on the front bar links - plated. Pretty certain the front bar was satin black finish. Can't help w/rear bar - never had one.

I would venture that most front bars were either not factory or upgraded from factory. After this length of time, if they haven't been kept up (painted), I'd bet rust would have weakened them pretty seriously. Had a rear bar in one of my other Porsches let go during an auto-x - sounded like a bomb going off! It was a factory bar & 6 years old when it failed. Had never been re-protected from the elements & was a daily driver.
