    Knuckles, Spindles, Arms & Brake Assemblies

    I'm in a dilemma that I'm sure someone or many of you can easily resolve. After a recent engine, transmission and clutch rebuild the reassembly begins. But first we're going to freshen up the engine bay and replace/rebuild any suspension and/or steering components that are necessary. Now for my dilemma. On page 189 of the TIMJG 7th edition, it states the knuckles, spindles, arms and brake assemblies were assembled as a unit and painted chassis black. Right below that, it states the steering knuckle (spindle and strut) is a natural color. So, I'm a bit confused. What parts are black and what parts are natural? The 6th edition states the same. However, the 5th edition does not state "these items were assembled as a unit and painted chassis black....."

    Thank you in advance for your help.

      1963. I do apologize for leaving out that one piece of critical information.

          Kerry,

          Before I did anything on a ‘63 I’d see what the 8th edition of the JG says. A lot of things have changed in that JG from edition to edition.
