Hi,

Im doing a restoration on all the instrument cluster components + plastic panels for radio/heater control/switch panel.. On my aar cuda.

I want to use the correct finish on all mounting screws when finished so i really would like to see many detail pictures of untouched instrument clusters (standard / non rally dash cluster)

Im intrested in bar light mounting screws & finish (black zinc or clear zinc)..
Mounting screws for switch panel & gauge panel.
Road lamp switch area for 1970 cudas..
And mounting screws for radio panel & heater control panel..

Send pictures!


Thanks
Nicklas

No pictures, but a good "rule of thumb" is that all screws you can see are black. :2cents:

Hi Alan, So the screw for the light bar are black zinc or phosphate?

The screws for the "instrument to frame" screws was zinc plated, the same with switch & gauge plastic panels mounting screws.
