Ferrari never painted the LOBO bolts this can only a 98 point car
You as Americans must have severe troubles HAHA

plaese drive this cars

 

Forgot to say on the back side you can see the electric Fispapump tubing thats correct ,no paint pure non oxidation material !

not painted like the tubing from caliptor to calipter

97 points i think
Good for the owner only this small part of the car is visible. Otherwise must probebly give back his price
well those old judges must have trouble to come up ,if they go on there knees

Calipers= Silver Cad
Hubs= Zinc Phosphate

That blue 4 cam restored by Perfect Reflections/ Patrick Ottis. Best in the Biz.

 

That is clear cad Not silver paint and the caliper bolts came from dunlop ALSO clear cad

 

but didn't you see the brushmarks on the calipers HAHAHA

 

The tubing between the calipers also cad as original Maybe you could share a picture of your car??

 

put on you're glasses.
even the bleeding screw is painted
well WHO is perfect.
a lot of owner are in a hurry so its very fast and save time to simply overspray those thing
but for purist a nightmare,
for me is overdone.
Well the sun is always schining in carlifornia isn,t it
silver cad is correct but has an other kind of shining
ciao

zinc phosphate, Industrial Plating in San Carlos does a great job

 

THAT IS CAD ! I know because I restored that car It's a little bit bright at first but it oxidizes quickly But again I'm sure your car is much better
ciao

 

Dontbe upset Sir i am not at all interested in 100% concours cars, i HATE them no admosfere .PATINA is the real word
i know these details because i DRIVE those cars since my student time about 20 years
i have those parts unrestored in mine spare stock these we never put on a car
i will try to send tommorrow, if i manage , a few fotos of these untreated unrestaurated parts
never to old to learn
ciao

Cornelis: Someone asked a simple question about calipers. Another person ( a professional restorer),took the time to post photos of what a proper restoration should look like. Why would you attack him? You do not seem to be interested in restoration anyway. Your post offers nothing positive to the forum. Posts like yours are what keep quality people from contributing. Just so you know, this blue car in the photos was restored by the most respected people in the vintage Ferrari world. The car is correct in every way.

 

Trying to send some foto for Mr Ottis. the back side silverplated cat 1,75 .
but in the front a kind of shining messing 2,25 difficult to see on the iphotos
hope This helps look at the bleeding screws a kind of bordeaux .these parts are about 15 years in my stock,
i use daily my drummbrakes
tubing ligh oxidation witch is normal after those years little bit of pitting normal steel see magneto hanging but NO cad
tomorrow fotos of the org bolts on 250gt a disc brake car .i must take of a wheel off and make them clean with high pessure to schow something

Well i have noting agains this Question, but my stomach acid is allway come high when i see those overrestaurated cars.
the ex- car 250 gto of Pilkinton was sold and compleetly over restaurated in ENGLAND not in the US i did love this USED car
So there are also europeen persons IMO without taste or culture.
well this is my porsenal opinion .
there are coming times that the car with great patina will reach the highest prices
but there are not many left THATS the point.

I'm not sure I'm getting the point here. The calipers are obviously not painted, note the black bolt holding the pads. Is it possible that silver Cad as done in California is somewhat brighter and shinier than old, shelf worn cad from GB? I don't see any paint on the calipers or anywhere else.

Thanks Morris, I guess he was the one who should be wearing glasses

 

Thanks. The eight nuts holing the hub... are these also zinc phosphate or are they black oxide? I am currently dealing with the suspension rebuild and do appreciate this thread.

Black Oxide
