'72, stroage compartment latch question
the three escutcheons that surround the release latch button behind the seats.
Are those interior color, or black, or something else? mine are rusty from a rear window leak (now fixed), so no color is left.
The retaining U brackets on the underside that hold the release latches, what color are those? natural steel, black, something else?
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
The U shaped bracket that holds the push button locks in place were originally manganese phosphate plated.
If you're not doing the plating a dark gray paint will be close.
Eastwood has a specific paint that mimics the manganese phosphate. You can use it other places too, like the hood latches.

Alan
