cuda brake booster finish

[culp71]

brake booster assembly on a 1971 340 cuda, what was the original /correct finish, should it all be painted, black, unfinished cast master? etc. pics appreciated.

If it's a Midland Ross booster(held together with a removable band...NOT crimped together) it should be zinc dichromate.

[burdar]

The support bracket on the back side is gloss black.

[culp71]

okay, I would assume the master it self should be cast iron color?

[burdar]

The master is natural cast.  The lid could have been zinc dichromate or gray phosphate.

Bendex boosters were also found on 71's, be sure of which style you have

[culp71]

the crimped style would indicate the bendex version?

[burdar]

Yes, both halves were crimped together and aren't easily separated.  Those were sprayed with cheap gloss black.

[anlauto]

the crimped style would indicate the bendex version?

Yes and it was painted as an assembly with the complete master cylinder in a cheap black as burdar has stated

[culp71]

alright, it is the bendex style, so ill paint it up
