Working on getting my engine parts together for the rebuild and need a half dozen or so parts done and all the stuff I see locally is large or massive part number platers.I just need a little done and looked in the vendor spot with no success. Is there somebody trustworthy that does this for our 914 restos?

I just spent time on the phone with 3 local plating companies.
2 were willing to do cad plating of auto parts. If you clean the parts to remove grime and rust,you save money. They both had a minimum charge, if you clean your own parts, it is aprox. 150.00 for a batch. Both chemically strip the parts of any left over plating when they get them and then plate them. They do work for the Military and Aerospace Industry, so I don't think quality is an issue. The 150.00 minimum cost would be about what could fit in a 5 gallon bucket. Your results may vary.. Just takes some time to clean parts, get them to the plater... and a few phone calls. |
