Back to the master cylinder.  At Birmingham I got dinged for a silver cap and not black.  Before I paint the cap I have or get a second cap to paint black,  I just wanted to confirm that silver cap for my car is correct as I thought we decided in earlier posts on this thread.

The MCA grading sheet gives black or zinc dichromate as the options,  not silver.
They are all (front disc brake) painted black . 65-67 the caps were zinc dichromate before being painted black . 68 up the caps were zinc silver before being painted black.

Not sure were the group came to that conclusion (caps not being black with the rest of the master cylinder) but IMHO and from experience they should be painted as a unit black with cap to reduce the chance of the master cylinders rusting while in Fords control. On power brake cars the master cylinder and booster were painted as a unit - together
Jeff, he said that he got dinged for the cap "not" being black. To add, underneath the black paint it should be silver for 68. When the bail wire is un clamped and clamped like during pre delivery to check fluid level inevitably the black paint gets scratched. Underneath the black paint silver should show through.

Hey all,
My wheels are looking a little tired and could use a refresh. The chrome is still in great shape, but the centers need help. What?s the general consensus on refreshing the cast spokes? Media blast, walnut shells?, acid? And how to duplicate the satin finish on the outer sections? Thanks in advance.

I came across a 67 Metuchen build  with a buck tag and until the Marti report comes out I wanted to ask if any one recognizes any of these that are stamped on the Buck tag. 7T02S  A4? I'm not sure about the 4,  SK P10 it has power disk brakes listed as DB, MC FD It is a Wimbledon white car with tan deluxe interior and upper and lower consoles.

A bunch of spring clamps like these.  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Anvil-2-in-Spring-Clamp-99691/302755764


I wrap it all around.  Fold over the edges.  Put all the clamps in place.  Go around and make the slits as needed in the corners. 
Then undo a couple of clamps at a time and glue that area.  Do small sections as you move around.  As stated, glue only goes on the backside.  Leave the clamps in place until the glue is good and dry.
