Its zinc
haynes66:
many thanks. i know the price of zinc plating isnt very expensive but i guess it would add up if i restore two or three bikes. i'll give it a shot
philward:
As I have said on previous post Pete, I like it as I do the zincing as I build the bike up - i.e. as I build a set of carbs, I zinc the metal work (as opposed to waiting to get sufficient parts together to make it economical to send to the zinc platers, and then risk losing bits)
Lobo:
Thanks all - it seems a thumbs up for home zinc plating.
Can anyone suggest how best to finish the highlighted parts in the pics?
And the ‘main plate’ - should I simply polish it?
Ta,
Simon
