Darrell;
Don't feel bad.....I was looking at a TR3 "high quality resto" on eBay where
the whole engine compartment was painted jerk black. I'm sure that jerk
painted the grease too. And he had a Buy-it-now price in excess of $20K.
As to the fender washers and bolts, I think they look good in bright metal
and I intend to leave them that way. Hmmmm....that attitude is probably the
reason why I never win anything at car shows.

the metal band, dust cover, around the back of the starter. I left them
both natural, unfinished, I hope this is correct.
I would say the tube should be black if you are referring to the one that
goes to the water pump. BTW, Yikes they painted my water pump grease jerk
black! I would be good with the starter as long as the finish on the
casing is
matte black.
The TRA Judging manual is saying that bonnet release was installed prior to
painting so the hardware should be body color. But natural or body color
is
accepted on the spring, spring-thimble cup & cable which means they really
have on clue.
