Title: 1969 shifter detailing
Post by: Coralsnake on June 23, 2023, 08:56:14 PM

So, I am detailing a 1969 shifter. This is the part directly below the shifter handle. Has anyone seen parts of these painted black?

I have only seen the major components phosphated,  If you need a new rubber bushing let me know.

Seen then painted black, red and blue but don't think any were original. Typical rattle can refreshening

Examples from the collection with the typical P & O finishes

My 2 cents is after having and seeing numerous 69 shifter controls over the years I have a high confidence level that they were typically Zinc Phosphate.
