As I inch toward primer and paint on my car, I've been wondering about the correct finish for hinge bolts and washers. I'm talking about frunk, trunk, engine lid pivot, and doors. Hinge hardware only, not latches. All of mine were painted body color but my car had been resprayed and a lot of things wound up body color that shouldn't have. It makes sense to me that these might have been painted, but what is the correct finish for a restoration?

Only body color bolts that I can think of are the ones for the door hinges and front/back hood hinges.

Thanks! That covers all the bolts in question except the engine pivot bolts which I suspected were not. Mine have been replaced so many times I wouldn't have a clue what the original might of been.

I remember reading somewhere that the front hood bolts are not painted. they are either zinc plated or cad plated.

Brent,
These photos present original finishes on hardware that are relevant for a 1970 914. Possibly someone with a 1973 can provide OEM finishes for your car if it had changed from 1970.

Fantastic! This is very helpful. So it looks like hardware bolting the trunks to the hinges is cad plated and hardware at the hinge pivots and doors is body color. Unless someone comes forward saying something had changed by 73, I'll plan on that. I'm still at least 3 months out from spraying color so plenty of time to change my mind.

Thanks for the help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

From the 914 Bible "914 TECH TIPS 700" pg. 75 438." Rear trunk hinge to lid bolts and washers were painted the car's color by the factory. (Front lid to hinge bolts were unpainted)."

I do not know for what model year the above referenced specification is applicable to. However, attached is a photo of my 1970/4 before restoration that shows the bolts securing the hinges to the rear trunk lid as unpainted.

Painted as I think you can see in this pic of my ‘73 2.0 survivor. Can get better pics if needed. Happy to give you pics of other areas if you need them. Amazed at the work you are doing!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) That was my guess. When I took the braces out, it even looked like the car was probably painted after they were bolted in.

Thanks for the complement. Still a long way to go before the work passes my standards, but I think I have a decent start on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Further conformation as to the cowl bolts being painted body color. Once again, pictures of my 914 before restoration.
