Title: Bracket Color
Post by: johnk on October 11, 2019, 00:22:53

My bracket that mounts the small radio fuse box to the voltage regulator on the right inner fender well looks like it was made by an 8th grader learning how to use a metal saw so I need to make a new one. It appears to have been painted the body color but its obvious its not the original bracket. Should these be body color? I read an old post on this site that referred to one being black, but certainly not CAD like when they come with a new fuse box.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks gents
John K

I guess silver CAD.  The pros on forum can chime in.

Mine (second pic) was painted and clear coated to mimic. First pic is a $225k car(asking price😀)

This listing’s description has all the dimensions you need to make one. Or you could just buy it. Original color/plating was silver. Either zinc or nickel.

Thanks Tyler. Definately can use the dimensions. Problem with buying new though is I still have to remove the bracket to paint or plate it.
