Re: Engine Bay detailing on a '56 dual carb car

Thanks for posting that decal. Looks great... I would certainly love to find that accesory some day.

One additional doubt comes to mind: I had a chance to take a look at a parts car and grab a few things. I saw a small bracket meant to hold the rubber hoses going from the wiper motor to the windshield washer reservoir and back to the coordinator. It goes at about halfway between the engine and the fender, just in front of the steering wheel, of course, on the firewall.

Question is: is it supposed to be painted black or left in zinc plated or galvanized finish?

The parts car had it fixed to it's firewall by a flat head sheet metal screw. Does this sound correct?

Thanks,
Victor
