Shocky, were do you get the bright zinc done and what sort of price could I expect to pay? I have some links that will need plating sometime next year and that finish looks good.

Thanks, Mark

i get it done by a small local company called wellbright plating they charge me £10 a set ,they reverse plate the old stuff then polish then replate i charge the same if i supply someone the links i offer it as a service to encorage people to buy my links
"doom patrol" on here gets all sorts of stuff done by them and he used them first altho my dad had some exhaust manifolds done there for his jzr kit car a few years ago so i already new of the place
out of interest a chromes set take about 1.5 hrs to reverse plate :shock: the finish is BZP or bright zinc plate it will dull after a while though but should remain sound for many years
if you need a set doing its £2.70 postage each way i dont mind doing it as a favour to forum members as long as i dont get 50 sets altho i recone i could work some discount for that many

Cheers, Mark
