[Healeys] finish of gauge housing

[Oudesluys]

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 surface 
rust in older cars that have been stored in damp conditions.
