Definitive list of suspension anodising

[Nashman]

Hi, I've looked and can't see one anywhere, but I bet it is somewhere....My car is 1969....might as well get as much of the detail right while I can...any help gratefully received.

Cheers Matthew

Matthew, my experience is only 1973, but I don't think anything is anodised on the suspension of any 911 except for the Fuch wheels.

Guess you mean which parts are painted, and which parts are zinc plated, some are left 'as cast' too.
I'll leave that to the experts in originality on here to define, not my strongest skill..

Thanks Graham, Exactly what I meant....so still need to know what is blacked and what is zinc coated and colour...

Cheers

The MY '69 is a one-year car I think, so several things are different, but I suspect the paint and plating is the same as other years.

If you are doing the car as a 100% back to original, then I'm sure there will be things like colours of the dampers and suchlike (and stickers), but possibly fair to say, black chassis paint (satin black) on everything except:
All fasteners to be yellow passivated zinc plated (the yellow/brass finish technically illegal now)
Wheel hubs (that the disc mounts on) will be 'as cast' aluminium.
Wheel studs are natural steel (I think).

On the rear the torsion bar bush outer 'top-hats' are yellow zinc plated, otherwise as above generally.

I am certainly not an 'Original at all costs' type, so be careful what I have written.

You need to ask Mike up in Scotland as he is the encyclopedia on all these matters.
