Front strut rod nuts
« on: August 05, 2013, 08:30:27 PM »
     Working on a April 66  San Jose car.  Anyone know what the finish is supposed to be on the 2 large nuts on the front of the strut rods.  Phosate & oil, cad, zinc?        Thanks.    Doug

Normally locking nuts are cadmium plated.  Whenever I have soaked originals in evapo-rust, they turn yellow, unlike pieces that are zinc plated, which don't turn any color.
