Looking at OE 024 & 034 70 E-body leaf spring clamps. It seems that the repro clamps are clear / silver zinc plated, which are way too shiny in my eyes. Should the clamps be natural steel? Does anyone make or sell the correct looking ones? TIA Bob

Thanks for the Info. Where can I get the correct natural clamps. The repro ones don't look correct for unpainted springs Bob

The bad thing about blasting is it leaves the blasted look instead of the natural finish you are looking for. You are right. The clamp that is being sold does not seem to be steel. I have some things I am thinking of, yet you know if it works out Thanks Bob

The bad thing about blasting is it leaves the blasted look instead of the natural finish you are looking for. I think it all depends on the kind of media you use. Walnut shells and glass beads I don't think leave that impregnated look like black oxide or whatever that stuff called Black Beauty is.
