Title: 1968 San Jose GT 390 Spare Tire Mounting
Post by: bullitt68 on April 23, 2020, 02:47:59 AM

Just checking to confirm as the fastener spread sheet shows the finish as zinc. Mine looked like it was most likely phosphate but I don't know if it is original to my car. FYI I vapour blasted it after media blasting it and there was no platting, unless it wore off over the years.

Thanks

IMHO both were zinc plated.
