Restored Spring Saddles
« on: September 11, 2018, 03:03:09 PM »
Guys, I'd like your opinion(s) as to whether my fresh spring saddles pass muster.

Thanks

I've seen zinc or cad plating on the fine-thread bolts for 65-66.

They look nice but could have looked better if they had been tumbled in a appropriate media . They appear to be bead blasted and cleared.

The "color" of the spring retaining portion should be the same as the shaft. In other words, it's "too clean".

Here's some that were tumbled.  Can still see some of the cad plating on the bolts.  I hadn't restored that part yet.
