Does anyone have any accurate photos of the correct paint or plating that would have come from the factory for a 1965 disc brake setup? I am trying to recreate an accurate front suspension and am not sure what the correct details are for the spindles, brackets, calipers, rotors, and associated fasteners and lines.

It seems to me that Mustang Monthly had and article that showed the correct detailing. What I remember was there were white paint daubs on the piston boots and the outside half of the Calipers were painted with stainless steel paint but the inside were left natural. The heat shields were natural and the bolts that held the caliper mounts were yellow cadnium. the rotors had K/H stamped into them. the disk pad cover plates had FoMoCo inside a rectangle stamped into them. Try to find the article in the Mustangs Monthly archives. I hope this helps you.

Browse thru these links - they are from Charles Turner's (aka caspian65) restoration projects.

He will, of course, tell you to look for an original car, don't trust someone else's pictures and to brush after every meal.
I'm off to a Mustang Club meeting so I don't have much time.
