Re: Finish on spring clips
Look at the UNDER CARRIAGE FINISHES table on page 4-22 revised 2011 under “Spring Clips' they are are "BG".
Under codes BG = black gloss

Re: Finish on spring clips
I saw the spring clip finish as satin black paint, but I need the bolts and nuts finish.

Re: Finish on spring clips
I believe the U bolts and nuts are the parts that hold the springs to the front and rear crossmembers, not the clip bolts and nuts I was referring to. There are no cotter pins used on the spring clip bolts and nuts.

My thoughts have been that they were assembles with the spring and painted as a complete unit, making them black satin. |

Re: Finish on spring clips
Gary,
Thanks for the info. I had a slight suspicion that might be the way it was originally done by Ford, but didn't see anything in the JG's. Your help is appreciated. Rusty |

Re: Finish on spring clips
Now I understand, you want the finish on the spring clamps, and the response from Gary Karr is right on. The spring clamps should be the same as the spring, "Bst" black satin.
