Re: [Chrysler300] Wire terminal block restoration perplexion

[Oddvin Skråmestø <oddvin.skramesto@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.
I managed to replace some of the posts, after I broke them trying to loosen the wires. But this is almost 20 years ago, so I don't remember what I actually did. Most likely. I drilled out the broken bolts and put in new (stainless steel?) ones and then seal them with epoxy on the back side. 
I don't have the car here, but I'm going to visit my 300C in the weekend and can take the terminalblock of, and give you an update. I think I will remember when I see it.

  I have been pretty successful/lucky so far in figuring out some tricky, laborious, or outrageously expensive way of either restoring or replacing each little widget of my '57 C for its restoration. Everything is coming out really nicely. But I have to hit you guys up on this little one.

  The five-post terminal block on the radiator support is bakelite with molded-in posts that were probably originally zinc plated. All the plating has rusted off the posts, and I can't think of a coating I can renew them with that will look right, be conductive, and protect them against rusting again for the long haul.

  Does anyone have an idea for this? Or is there an accurate replacement available?

  Thanks to all for the help.
