clear zinc, silver cadminm, and Zinc Phosphate Questions
 

I'm having some 67-72 parts replated but not exactly sure what was plated with what. Anybody know what parts are plated with the above choices? Thanks, Tom

I have all the hardware on my restorations clear zinc plated. This is a batch I just picked up recently. I'm not a purist on restoring old trucks so I can't add to what is "proper" for originality. I get them done this way because it looks like new hardware and it's dirt cheap to have batches done. My plater has a 25 dollar minimum charge but he'll do 25 pounds of hardware for that price. I've never walked out of there for over 50 dollars total no matter how much stuff I took him.

Wow... that stuff turned out nice!

Yea...second on that. You couldn't buy all of that new for the price.

I'm trying to replate things back original plating instead of painting. I'm a purist. I enjoy restoring back to original just like it left the assembly line.
Parts I'm trying to restore are parts such as:
carb spacer
coil brackets
hood hinges
certain bolts
disc brake stone shields
hood latches
and more.
