66 Hertz Grill Screws
« on: September 14, 2015, 10:37:31 PM »
Just want to confirm the finish on CF screws hat hold the grill in.  I assume it is phosphate correct? 


Thanks,
Chris

Silver zinc . The PO CF marked screws are typically sourced from the interior bracket hardware which might be why you are thinking the CF screws are PO. Exposed to the elements the PO screws would quickly rust and be highly visible in the grill.

The reason I thought PO is I asked the same question for my 65 in another thread in the 65-66 section and the determination was PO and not zinc...Want to confirm before an order is placed to AMK....

What few you see in a 65 Gt350 grill area are also silver for the same reasons mentioned for 66. FYI AMK 65/66 grill hardware kits come silver too regardless if ordering for Shelby or Mustang. At least that is the way a order recently came to me.

Just checked the 65 assembly manual to confirm my observations and it indicates S8 (silver) also.
