alternator detailing question

Hi gang, I need to detail an alternator for the '70 Cutlass Supreme convertible. Obviously the case is dull aluminum. I guess the pulley is steel? What color is the fan? I think I know what it should be, but want to see what you guys say before I post it... thanks.

Re: alternator detailing question

Most new/NOS I've seen are that yellow zinc chromate plated. I've also seen black phosphate plated some years.

Re: alternator detailing question

And thanks again... I thought I remembered them being a yellow or gold color, figured it was gold anodized, but I bet you're right about the zinc chromate. I'll have to see what Eastwood has that looks close.

(Did you get my voicemail a weekr so ago? Give me a shout when you get a chance, been wondering how you're doing.)
