Hi I'm currently rebuilding my door, hatch and bonnet hinges. The door hinges I'll be replacing the pins and bushes. I have everything down to bare steel and was wondering how other people have treated/finished them. I don't want to paint them as I don't want the build up around them and the paint wear epically on the bonnet hinges. I can anodise he door hinges if there is no better options but the bonnet and hatch hinges I wasn't goin to pull a

Art as they are in good condition and don't think. Can anodizing with them together still.

 

Ideas?

For the bonnet I would cadmium plate them like factory. For the doors I believe they were painted, but can't confirm 100%?

 

I was contemplating getting a Cadmium plating kit to do several items on the Z, horns, bonnet latch, under bonnet inspection lamp, carb linkages etc..but I've no experience with a DIY kit.

YeA it's mainly the bonnet and hatch I'm stuck with. I don't have a rebuild kit or know if they are available and seeing they are in awesome condition I figured may as well leave them just need to dress them up and make them look pretty I'll sus that plating. As for the the doors I'll send them in when all my bolts get done so that's no issue i dont want the  painted ha. cheers.
