About 1/2 of the rest of the fasteners/bits on an S4/GT ready to go to pre-plating polish tumbling.

Doesn't the battery hold-down stay gray? (or black, in some cases?) Never seen a cad-plated one.
I guess it's kinda sort not part of the engine, it's the air pump/header heat shield:
What part of the engine is that for (see circle)?

I note that the hold-downs's bolts are also very faded. Could be that exposure in the box from the unvented battery eats the yellow zinc fast?
The condenser stays aren't yellow-zinc plated on the later 928s. They are on the early ones. The brake line brackets seem to be a mixed bag of black phosphate, black or yellow zinc.

Oh! Wait...
here's that hold-down in it's 'original glory' before de-greasing, de-rusting, and first-stage tumbling as pictured in the first post. See the residual yellowness?
