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) |

Again,
A lot of this is starting to come back to me. I used the 914 Porsche Parts book to get the proper plating. I sorted the part by finish and into a pail for plating for the correct finish. Good advise by the guys to clean as much as possible. The biker guys who did mine took extra care with my parts, so I was lucky. Remember, whoever does the work are being paid low wages & don't give a dam. Tom |
