1966 Shelby Calipers

[sidebolt]

 Can anyone tell me what the correct color is for the front K/H brake calipers? Thanks

Plain old rust. Originals were just bare cast iron.

Depends on when the car was built but guess we can claim the majority of them were cast iron inner half with a cad plated outer half

+1 . They first started out as both halves cast iron I believe and then evolved to for those cars option with deluxe wheels to have the outside half being painted silver or plated zinc silver so that rust quickly formed on the bare cast iron would not be seen through the spokes . Steel wheel cars had both halves bare cast iron. Later in 65 production I believe Ford decided that rather then worry about which cars came with steel wheels and which with deluxe wheels they made all of the calipers plated or painted on the outside halve.
