Brake Caliper finish
« on: February 15, 2021, 10:00:17 AM »
Hello,

We are currently restoring 1967 GT350 #1341.  What is the correct coating/finish for the KH brake calipers?

thanks,
Carl

back half cast iron and front half was plated silver or painted silver (like aluma blast). I don't know why two silver finish's were used.

Eastwood bright silver high heat exhaust manifold paint works well.
