Interesting picture...Has the grill been removed from this car? I'm curious about the screws and j nuts holding the brackets on instead of the rivots....

AWESOME!! That is exactly what I did to the black RS/Z individually took items off cleaned preserved and reinstalled... it makes all the difference in how the car presents itself. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics....14.10_330.jpg

BTW the plates inside the stacks are black anodized... which is really a deep black violet color, having them re-anodize is inexpensive however if you flip them over and swap them side to side all they need is the center peg holes re-drilled (not visible when installed) to work without doing anything and still having the original finish.


There I go giving away trade secrets... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Option #4:

I'd swap over to the restored piece but I'd strip off the shiny new black paint first with some carb cleaner and let it get some nice surface rust patina. It should blend in fine then. Keep the disc brakes. They are much safer than the drums.

Here is what my original master cyl looks like in the Firebird. The original lid is still nice and shiny after 42 years.
