pepstrebeck Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 In an on going battle with the braking system on my DA some questions have come up that I need to find some answers for, so any help would be appreciated.First, the brass fittings that mount the brake hoses and brake lines to the wheel cylinders (as well as the junction on the rear axle), should these fittings be left as unfinished brass, or painted?Second, after soaking the steel transition fittings (two for the front and one for the rear) in parts cleaner and removing the dirt and paint from them, there appears to be remnants of plating on these fittings. Wether the plating was chrome or cad. I am not certain, but it sure looks as though these were plated at one point in their lives. So the question here is, should these fittings be painted or plated?Any help or ideas as to what the finish should be on these parts would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your time and help, Pep.

Putnam_Ct Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I have a 31, and they are painted. If that is any help. There is no sign at all of any kind of plating.Pete
