Good Morning to all,I'm at the point of my Sportster project where I'll soon be heading to the platers.I'm needing some clarification as to the finish that was on the lower oil tank bracket and the associated fasteners.The lower bracket appeared on disassembly to almost look to be raw steel but was not excessively rusty.Was it at one time parkerized?The hex mount studs look like they might be parkerized as do the bolts to bracket that attach to the studs.Lastly,the bolts,springs washers and nuts that secure the bracket to the oil tank,cad or parkerized?I appreciate any help/ insight as some of these details are hard to capture from an overview photo and no local examples are available for me to look at.Peter
