C2 Ignition Shield Brackets and Finish

[Alan Drake]

Getting parts ready for winter project. Relative to the Ignition Shielding for a 1964 FI;
1 The ignition shield support brackets, 3819757, 8, & 9, what is the finish on these and are they painted org? Want to use original ones with correct markings.

2 The brackets which the ign wires run through and also hold the shielding, are these painted black and what flavor (gloss, semi,flat, ..)?

3 Have two styles of the lower rear L.H. bracket (those described above in 2)

One is straight while other has a section which thins then goes back to same

dimention as started. (can send picture, but no idea how to post).

Paragon shows two of these, one for 56-69 the straight one while the other is

for 65-67 but with a section take out entirely while mine only has a small

section removed (could this be a 63??)

Alan -

The upper shielding/plug wire supports are semi-gloss black (they were dip-primed).

The lower 757-8-9 shielding brackets (that are attached under the exhaust manifold bolt heads) were zinc/cad plated, not painted.

Re: C2 Ignition Shield

Thanks John.

My brackets are still dip-primed without any rust - in great shape.

The lower brackets I'll clean and plate. Have seen a number painted at events and was not sure what they needed to be.

Any idea of what the other bracket could be from? How about a 63? I did have a number of minor 63 parts around the garage from past work on a friends car.

Thanks again
Alan
