Topic: 51 F1 exhaust hanger finish

  I'm restoring a 51 F1 back to stock specs. What finish did the exhaust hangers come like from the factory. Thanks

  I have some older exhaust hangers from a Ford dealership and they are stamped metal and unpainted.

  I’m not sure what the factory correct finish would be. But when I replaced my entire exhaust system on my 52 f1 , I used a stock stainless steel one, and I had the hangers cerakote-d; to obviously prevent rust and match the SS exhaust system. I used a silver color that was available but I don’t think you could go wrong with black satin either. My guess is they might have been cad-plated, or just gray primer dipped but that’s only an assumption.

P.S. and I just noticed on your posted picture, that your oil filler tube should be painted black like the cap, not red. Looks great!
