On the main page of the MTFCA site ,there is an encyclopedia section where you can go and look all this up your self. Have fun.

There's also a more complete version of the encyclopedia available on disk. It's the best fifty bucks you can spend on Model T information.

So is there a Zink and Nickel Section or do I look it up Part by Part.

Sorry about that, I see the confusion in my question. That list I gave, were parts that I know should be either Nickel or Zink depending on the part and year of the Model T.

My question is besides the parts listed below what other parts should or should not be Nickel or Zink on a Model T?

Rims
Steering Gear Case
Steering Gear Case Cover
Steering Wheel Nut
Carb Lever and Advance Lever
Radiator Fill Spout
Radiator Cap

The reason I ask is, my car looks like the entire thing was painted black to include all parts that should be just the Nickel or Zink showing. It makes it tough to know what should not be black on the car. I would like to get a list together so I know what needs to go to the plating guys.

Dan, Oh the nut was black paint. Thanks for that catch.

Any other parts that need to be plated?

Hub caps were nickel, the coil box latches were nickel, the windshield wing nuts were nickel, valve stem outer nuts and dust covers were nickel.

Thanks Mike, that is just what I was looking for. I will get those parts taken care of too.
