[67conv6cyl]

Also the lower inner section of the tail panel where the frame rails meet the tail panel is galvanized...at least is is on my 67 convertible.

Yes mine is also. I forgot about that.

None of the 4 bolt prints are available, so no info that way.

Pic of my Z11's striker. Looks like the other examples - light phosphate on the plate, maybe zinc on the bolt, definitely dark phosphate on the cup. I've probably got some NOS pieces ratholed, try and find them this weekend.

Last picture still shows the bubbling of the WD40 I sprayed

06A Z28 , cleaned in evaporust and re oiled to avoid rusting, spring was repainted, but phosphate is original, owned the car since 74.

Many thanks for all the submissions. I dare not rule out exceptions however I've concluded the assembly, including the bolt (adjuster shaft), was very likely zinc phosphated originally and any appearance of a natural or galvanized finish on the bolt is due to burnishing or wear over time. Its generally accepted that gloss black is correct for the spring. Here is how I restored the assembly for my project:

Looks great Lloyd. I think your conclusion is right on the money.

How do you use that site with all the ads & pop ups? I stopped going there because of that fact....Joe

Joe, off topic, however if you want to turn off pop-ups for the Windows version of the Google Chrome web browser here's how. There is a lot of good information on TC. 

Chrome (Windows)
Click the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (the three dots in the upper right corner of the window below the close window X)
Select Settings.
Click Advanced at the bottom of the page
Under Privacy and security, click the Site Settings button.
Select the Pop-ups and redirects arrow.
Click the Blocked (recommended) slider.
You're done.

To disable the pop-up blocker uncheck the Blocked (recommended) box.

Thank you Lloyd...Joe

While restoring some items that I planned in selling, I referenced this thread and hopefully came close to the intended result.

I am working on restoring these parts for my car the day and notice that after a thorough cleaning that the Striker pin has a finish that is almost identical to the phosphate coating on the clutch bell crank! much lighter in appearance than other items but definitely a light phosphate.
