914World.com _ Originality and History _ battery hold-down

Posted by: 1970 Neun vierzehn Mar 15 2014, 10:08 PM

As the topic title sez.. is the battery clamp supposed to be black, or the color of the body paint, for a 1970 build?

I can't tell it for sure, but I've never seen one in body colour so far

... as long as the body isn't black

AFAIK Paul they were the same satin black on all MY's 70-76, like the engine tins', fuel tank's, rear trailing arms', etc. satin black color.

There appears to be a consensus then. Excellent. Thanks to all

Paul, you can ask Mhead. He's the guy with the Irish green 69 date car in this forum. His car was never restored. I'd put my money on satin black as the others have mentioned.

Unfortunately, his engine compartment isn't (ahem) OEM in this area......

I have four from the factory - all new - all satin black. None for sale!
