Can anyone suggest a restoration shop for a bumper jack ? Also what is the correct plating process for the shaft? Silver or goldish? What is the correct color for the mechanism and the stand ,black or gray? 68 Camaro Thanks

I believe the shaft should be silver cad and the other parts should be gray including the jack handle.

I did my jack handle in gray, but I think it is supposed to be black.

Normally observed practice that I have seen is:

Both silver and yellow cad. shafts. Gray base and mechanism. Black tire iron handle.

I believe this is not 100% consistent as I seem to remember the possibility of black bases, but do not have the info handy.

I am going to do my shaft in yellow shaft as I believe the silver ones possibly started life off as a very light yellow.

the yellow or silver cad on the jack depends on what year the car is
