Thanks, I didn't know that yellow Zinc was the plating all along, feel much better about spending all the time and energy to get as far as I have. Interesting to hear that they will darken up over time as well. If you are in the SF South Bay area Valley Plating in Santa Clara did the work. All of the parts in the photos plus a bunch of smaller bolts, nuts and washers cost $100 with a three day turnaround.
Here's a shot of the suspension before I put it all back in the car. Need to get going on the front end next.
