Default Re: Plating Question

Zinc is so fragile and the cadmium is so much more durable, I'd do the cad in a heart-beat. If you could see Mike's (M22Mike) work, you'd go with the cad. Just my $.02 worth.

I have also had Beringer's do some black-cad plating for bolts/brackets and the results are very good.

Thanks for all your opinions on my plating question. The part I am referring to is a bracket that holds the anti-dieseling solenoid. I have a copy of the original GM blueprints for the part and they very clearly spec "zinc" plating for the bracket. The original plating sure does look like cadmium though.
