I believe gold cadmium plated. Gold cad has a slightly shiny finish, but dulls with age. It wasn't polished before it was plated, so think of it as bare steel that was plated.

Re: 330GTC Electrical Question
Hi Terry,
The GTCs have a relay that clicks on when the ignition switch is in key-on position. Try to find that relay to see what it's drawing at that junction.

Re: Just wanted to say great work on the 330 centre console
come to think of it Kerry, you're probably right! It's the 330GTCs that have vinyl consoles

Re: Looking for: GTE: Chrome locking nut (shifter) + lock for my fuel filler
Hi JL,
I'll keep an eye out for these two pieces. The locknut can always be fabricated and chrome plated if you really get into a bind, but the gas cap lock is tough one to find.
Good luck!

Re: 330GTC ignition switch removal
Hi Terry, You may be able to remove the back side of the switch to clean the contacts. It's going to take some contortions to stick your head back there to remove the two bolts that hold the back side of the switch. You'll have to disconnect the wires first. Removing the whole column assembly is a l...

Re: 365 Gt 2+2
HI Mark,
Is there an access hole under a rubber grommet at the pedal box, or am I thinking about a C/4? The vent might be what you have to remove to access the nut. Also, access sometimes has to come from behind the splash shield and behind the heater plenum.
Good luck!

Re: Daytona Brake Caliper Rebuild
Hi Drew, Terry is right, be careful! Wrap the assembly with a shop rag before applying compressed air and keep it away from painted surfaces. When the piston pops, it often it accompanied with a cloud of brake fluid, so watch out where the fluid goes. The rag will keep the splatter down and catch th...
