It would have been red but the exact shade varied. I used Ace Hardware safety red. Others have used NAPA orange-red-de1607. Other have used DuPont Nason Full Thane 54701BD, code 514, color crimson red.
Whichever one you use, no one is going to provide a color chip to prove you are wrong. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Transmission wouldn't have been red though would it?
