The quadrant was painted gloss black enamel, the levers were polished nickel.
: I am restoring a 1929 Tudor assembled in June of the same year.The upper shaft bushing is nickel plated zinc die cast without the insert.The Model A judging standards do not give the finish required for the quadrant plate that goes under the spark and throttle rods.
: The quadrant plate I have is in good condition.It is currently sandblasted to bare metal.
: What is the correct finish required for the quadrant and what is the common finish applied to the quadrant?
