   did a google and got lots of worthless stuff. Tried several differ
   search
   strings with the same result. What search string did you use?

        I used: "MIL-Spec" Anodize

        And, just like that, with MIL-Spec in quotes...

Doc,
If you are thinking of a mil spec for the slide throttle housing I
would say don't bother. Most of the anodizing houses will almost double
the price if you put a mil-spec number on your drawings. If you are
looking for durability simply specify clear hard anodize, no size
change, .0005 min thickness. I could look up the mil number for the same
process, but it would double the price. You don't need the paper trail
for these parts any way. Most colored anodize isn't mil spec, with the
exception of black, or natural (a rather puke green color)
