Re: Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation
you can do it at home, vendors in the Shotgun news sell the kits to do all kinds of plating
also there are numerous editions of the Henley's fortune in a formula book out there and in it they also describe explain how to do coatings/plating |

Re: Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation
That hardware is real nice ghalperin. At the time I'm a slave to the original hardware, but yeah, those are super.

Re: Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation
Last week I got all my parts back from Arrow Plating. I've been busy putting my truck together. They did a great job. I only had on minor issue, I had them plate my rusty radiator mounts and the bead blasting killed them. It was my own fault, I know that you shouldn't bead blast rusty sheet metal, if you don't want the pits to be craters. I could post a photo, but it just looks like new shiny nuts and bolts.

Re: Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation
That's a relief to hear the report card on Arrow Plating's work. Even though they have been fantastic for me for years, when I recommended them and you spent some real coin using them I was fingers crossed that everything turned out up to your standards. It's a shame folks can't go there in person. They are real nice folks.

Re: Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation
Thanks again for the recommendation.
Although not a closeup, here are the U-bolts, washers and nuts, spring cups and the diff cover bolts. Plated hardware really help it look finished.
