    I have 2 questions for the experts out there:

    -what is the correct original color for the brake calipers for a 1974 GTS?

    -what plating was used on the throttle linkage connecting the 3 carbs together? Mine is rusty and I would like to restore it to new condition.

    So far I have asked 3 people about the brakes and received 3 different answers!!

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I would say brake calipers are cad clear (silver)
    The threaded rod would also be the same. There now you have 4 answers.

    Thanks for the info!

    Here are the votes I have so far:

    1 - Silver Paint
    1 - Black
    2 - Cad/Clear Chromate
    3 - Cad/Gold Chromate

    It looks like gold is the winner.

    Do we have any other opinions??

    Cad/Gold Chromate is correct for a late GTS.
