    I am refurbishing a 1967 330 GTC and would like to know the correct finish on the brake caliper body. Can anyone help?

    The brake caliper along with the bridge pipe between the two halves would have been with a clear cadmium silver plating. Many platers no longer plate with cadmium due to the toxicity of the metal, but they should have something to replicate the finish, silver zinc-chromate, etc.

    Brian, would it be ok to use your picture above? I need to locate some hand brake calipers for my 275GTB, the above picture demonstares the part perfectly.
    many thanks
