Restoring six.
Question on engine…….cylinder air deflector plates are painted black. What is correct finish for spring steel brackets that hold deflectors in place? No guesses please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Thanks |

A first approximation would be whatever was done on the 1969 911T, as that was the source for the 914-6 engine.
I don't have a real answer, though. --DD |

black oxide
Not paint Some were flat and some curved with a different surface finish. I do know that on a recent 911 SC engine they were curved and not easily installed I have no recollection of that on earley engines. So...around a seven year window and on our cars the flat ones. Attached thumbnail(s)
