All the parts catalogues I've got (B1, B2, C1, C2, C3) show the same part number: 43007-1139-DM

I would therefore suggest that gold anodising is the correct finish. However, there could be some variation I am unaware of! Also, there are possibly limitless numbers of shades of gold, so it may help to find an original part in good condition to use as a sample.

Regards,
James

re-anodising old aluminium is not easy, has anyone done theirs successfully ?

there are some nice ceramic coatings available that could replicate the original colour, if we had a good sample to match

Martin has refurbished the torque arm very successfully previously, if you can see it in the photo's of my bike it is excellent
Currently building RC30 lookalike

The odd ball is the Ebony x Metallic zeus blue
Which has s silver anodised arm

All others (B/C/D) are a medium gold

Colour Anodising is just a electrical dyeing process to the fluffy outer layer of material.

It’s also interesting to see that 43007-1139-FL is only fitted to C1, the parts manual shows no ‘quantity’ for that part under C2, surely meaning Zeus were C1 only.
