I think that I'm going to get some parts re-plated. I want to have the door latch posts plated. But, while I'm getting these done what else can i get plated.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I've gathered a group of parts that i want to take to a plater to quote. I've never had anything plated before so not much of an idea what to expect for capability and cost. What was the original yellow plating- yellow cadmium? Any idea on plating costs? Any thing to be concerned about when having parts re-plated? Here is a pic of the group of parts that I've gathered so far. Attached image(s) |

Hi Doug,
The correct name is Yellow Di-Chromate on all the parts in the picture. The two door striker plates should be Zinc Plated. I can't make out most of the parts, but looks like you have everything. Don't forget clips/nuts/bolts/washers, etc. When I did mine I took about 100#'s of stuff and sorted out the good from the bad. They usually scrub the parts then through a parts washer, then plated w/Yellow Di-Chromate. . Price was the same for 10# or 100#. Got mine done in Dearborn, MI (ourt of business now) by Biker Guys who looked scary. Turned out to be nice guys, just their looks were scary. You know Biker & 914's are transportation. Hope this helps. If you need Anodizing, contact me PM & I will give you a good local source (high quality & reasonable). Tom |
