I was gonna go over to the tech forums but I thought I'd ask here first. As
vash says, you guys have answers for everything.
Now I'm not going to do something bogus in a 911 engine bay, those days are forever past. I am restoring my 1981 Margay kart.
That's the model (but not mine) and I have a Yamaha KT 100cc 2-stroke, not the Briggs shown,
It was ordered from the factory with red paint, black anodized floor and gold anodized hubs, wheels as well as all aluminum parts. On the actual AL parts the gold looks good after all these years but parts made to look gold like rod ends, nuts and bolts, front spindles and various brackets and clamps don't look as nice, Many still show some plating and may look decent after a soak in Berryman's.
I guess I could send this stuff off to
True6 but since it's not a Ferrari worth a million, I might want to keep costs in order.
So, I do remember this discussion over the years about spray on gold anodize but I don't know how to search it. A little help?
