Hey All,

I have searched all over the forums and no such luck. Not sure if this has been asked before but could someone tell me what the original colour of the surround ring for the ignition cylinder, the one that slides over it to create the curved lip. I looked at Kats' pictures to try and tell but hard to be sure if was black or aluminium?

Mine had a poor finish which looks like black over spray and I want to refresh it with the correct colour or finish if it was just metal.

In case it is different dependent on years I have a 1971 Series 1 240Z.

I just happen to keep a pic of that handy for just such a question. Mine on my '72 was black, but when I took apart the ignition to get it rekeyed I scuffed it even more, then I refinished it in matte black. Heres what it looked like when I took it off.

Matte black on all three of my '71s also.

Perfect thank you! I knew someone out there could help
