Zinc Plating

I'd like some help determining what Monte parts originally had the gold colored plating (I believe its Zinc Chromate).

 

My car is a 70 454SS. I have it almost completely stripped down to the frame now; before i start putting anything back together i want to make sure i get all the parts replated that originally had the gold coloring. (I have a feeling it’s going to be much cheaper to get everything done at once, then piece by piece)

 

Right now the parts i know where originally plated:

 

1) Brake power booster

2) Suspension autolevel vacuum pump/tank

3) Seatbelt mounting hardware

 

I'm sure there has to be more, but i see no other parts that show signs of the plating. If anyone knows of other parts, I’d like to know - no matter how small the part.

 

Thanks

Your brake booster is cadmium plated. Eastwood sells a kit to duplicate the look of cadmium. The brake fluid resovoir cap is also cad. plated. Check out WWW.eastwood.com they sell most anything you need for detailing.
