What was the finish of the gauge housings on the Big Healeys (in my case a BJ7 if that matters)? Zinc plated? Bare metal? Thanks in advance for all your wisdom. Eric _________________________________

Good question! I'd be interested to know as well. Can offer that the insides appeared to have been painted white, in order to reflect the back (6-cyl) or perimeter (4-cyl?) gauge lighting. The outer

All that I have observed seem to have been a very dull greyish plating. I don't think it was paint. Rich Chrysler _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/

Hi Rich, Agreed--seems too thin to be paint. But, it's too gray to be cadmium, and too dark to be zinc, as far as I can tell. Anyone on a first name basis with Nisonger or MoMa that can ask them? bs

The Smiths/Jaeger instrument housings were zinc electroplated and the inside was painted white or white and pale blue. The zinc (re)plating can be done at home as there are several sets available run

..well, I spoke with Margaret at MoMa and she said they weren't plated at all. Only painted on the inside. They have been using a Napa brand paint (iron cast) to more or less duplicate the original e

Definitively zinc electro plated and later on cadmium plated, although it was so thin you could nearly rub it of. I have hundreds of these gauges and clocks, NOS and used. They are usually covered in

Margaret must be getting senile in her old age, but I know that the several sets of gauges for my 100 all had a thin zinc plating. Cheers, Curt _______________________________________________ Suppor
