[Healeys] Fw: Seat Adjusters

[Rich C]

 Steve,
 The seat tracks were a dull zinc finish. I replicated this by having them
 bright zinc plated (or buy new bright zinc ones), then have them lightly
 "dusted' with glass beads to end up with a matt silver finish. On the
 Longbridge built cars, (Hundreds and early 100/Six's) the handles only were
 chromed. They were never painted from new.

 Greetings,

            I'm in the middle of refurbishing my seat adjusters or seat
 slides as called out in Moss Motors, which were pretty rusted and was
 wondering if anyone knew how they came finished from the factory?  I was
 thinking of having them zinc plated but upon degreasing them, I discovered
 there was evidence of grey paint underneath them.  I read through my
 restoration guide but nothing addressed this and the pictures are in black
 and white so I can't tell what color they were.  Does anyone know for
 sure?



 Thanks for your help,

 Steve
