    Paint Markings

    G'day; I thought this may be of interest to someone!

    Cleaned 30 years' worth of gunk off the steering box to find a blue stripe:

    Thankyou for these pics!
    My HZ GTS rebuild I am doing all these. I have a truck load of pics of simular ones. Some above I have never seen. The blue on the steering box is something I have never seen.....
    If you find any more please do let me know! Specially because its a HZ and adel built! Same as my GTS.

    Yes mate they are. Markings to note that each part has been checked. Or tightened.

    I wonder what the significance of the different blue / green / white colour is (eg: maybe green = torqued bolt / white = fluid fill?)??

    wow i didnt realise these markings meant something i quite often find yellow markings on steering boxes etc i assumed they had either been done by a reconditioner on the boxes and when i find other markings assumed someone had spilt paint or painted the part over the last 40 years
