These are the rectangular clips that hold together the 2 halves of the fresh air box under the front cowl. I've seen them in black paint, silver paint, natural, plated, etc. What's the original color/finish??

Paul

On a '70, natural metal finish (if I'm thinking of the same part as you are).

For what year 914 would you be asking about? 1974?

Paul

Another, better pic.

Yes, those are the clips on the Behr box and for a '74.

Paul

"cad" plated on a '72.
Pat

The clips on my 74 are black. However under the black looks to be cad plating.

Would that be "yellow" cad plating??

Paul

Yes, yellow"cad" plating. Note the quotes.
Pat

Yes, Yellow Di-Chromate (spelling?).

Tom

Hey Pat, how's your eye's???

Bliz,

Thanks for asking. They're still a mess, but I'm learning to cope. Doc (latest) says they should clear up eventually on thier own. Soi far, it isn't working. But, I'm trying to be patient.

Pat

The 'bare steel' clips pictured above look awefully bright/shiny for bare steel. I'd bet those are clear/silver zinc/cad.
