courtesy light finish
« on: June 14, 2015, 02:25:04 PM »
What is the finish of the 67-68 courtesy lights?  Silver cad or silver zinc?  The lamp housing snaps off and is obviously gold cad.  Thanks

Believe it was zinc originally - but I've never had one tested. Most of us can't get cad done locally anymore so they settle for zinc and dull the finish a bit for silver cad

Thanks Jeff.

Fortunately I can get all kinds of plating done here.  Everything except galvanized.
