(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) So does anyone have an NOS shroud or pic of one?
Im of the opinion that they may have been yellow Zinc plated originally, much like a good number of fasteners used on the 914. Ive recently started refinishing a couple or three, and on the ones that had undercoating applied ... back in the day, removal of that black layer of rubberized crap shows a nice shiny Yellow surface.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Watched this for a bit. Rich, All I can say is that my '72, which I am the original owner of, has a shroud that is not yellow zinc played. May have been zinc treated, but it was clear. I suspect that the the undercoating you removed may have stained the original finish since it was tar based. MO Pat |

Rx (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Cosmoline or like anoline, a light spray of some kind of yellow gold wax. I have used CRC marine corrosion inhibitor, is similar, but putting on as much as you'd want it comes out very gold, maybe too much so. |
