Alternator brace color?
« on: December 02, 2016, 01:01:54 PM »
What color should the alternator brace (the big, lower one, silver in this photo of my engine) be?

Pete,

 You are referring to the aluminum mounting bracket?
It is  a raw aluminum finish, no color.

Find a can of VHT Satin Clear and spray on it after you have it all cleaned up.  Will keep it looking nice for the long haul.

Aluminum it is, many thanks. I hope to have this thing cranked up and running for the first time by Monday at the latest.
