Making up a list of items that need to go to the plater and wasn’t sure about a few things. On my two project vehicles should the following items be nickel plated or painted?
1927 TT:
-ignition switch plate (oval style)
-windshield pivot slides
-windshield pivot clamp nuts
-outer door handle
-inner door handle
1927 Tudor:
-windshield pivot slides
-windshield pivot clamp nuts
-door sills plates that say “Ford”
Thanks!

Re: Nickel or not?
Nathan,.. what are you calling “windshield pivot slides”? The pivot clamp nuts on both vehicles will be nickel and, if I understand you have a factory enclosed cab TT, the inner door handle will be painted.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people

Re: Nickel or not?
Thanks for the info! Yes, it is a standard Ford closed cab, and by pivot slides I’m trying to describe the flat plate with a slot in it to hold the windshield in the open or closed position.
Does anyone know about the oval ignition switch panel? I’m assuming on a truck it would be less-fancy and be painted instead of nickel. What about Tudor door sills?
Thanks again

Re: Nickel or not?
Oval ignition switch panel with an ammeter hole is nickel plated, oval switch without an ammeter hole is painted black.

Re: Nickel or not?
Door sill plates are usually zinc. They were nut plated on our Canadian sourced cars.
