Painted petrol cap/painted heat shield

[Charlynsane]

Hello,

I'm wondering if my petrol cap should be chromed or painted,

My car is a september 1967 baby mk1

Another question, how the carb heatshield was coated? paint?zinc plating?

Thank you

Anyone knows?

My own feeling/memory is that the "basic" model and probably the commercials had painted caps, and that the "super de-luxe" and Cooper models had the stainless steel.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

I have got an answer from Pluto,

According to him:

All mk1 used to have an inox unpainted fuel cap except early Seven

Basic MK2/MK3 used to have painted cap,

So I made the right choice for my car I think??



According to him, the heatshield wasn't painted,
