    Correct finish for 71T sway bar components

    I'm tidying up the front through sway bar and triangular supporting brackets in the wheel wells of my 71T.

    What was the factory finish for these components?

    Presumably body colour paint over the triangular brackets, but what was the sway bar? Black?

    Someone will correct me but from my digging around in pics I am going with the below:
    - triangular brackets = cad plated
    - arms = cad
    - drop links = satin black
    - bolts = cad
    - bar, I assume was black.

      Tom they look exactly the way mine did when I fitted them.

          I didn't think sway bars were a standard fitting on a 71T.........at least they weren't on mine. I've since fitted front and rear and the finish is as described by Tom

            My 70T came with them, however I'd read that they didn't.

              Correct.
              'Stabiliser bars' (as the factory called them) were an option for 71 cars.
