Not a bad tip about the shrink wrap, done similar on the brake return spring but never considered it for those springs. Zinc plating turned out really dull, you sure it took? I've done a few of these now and found the holes for the pin had started to elongate, this allows the peg to rattle and ends up making it worse. Due to no doubt Honda not greasing them from the factory and of course we never think to grease them until it's too late.Same for the tunnel the pin runs through on the peg, I ended up going slightly bigger on the pin size and replacing them with stainless steel pins, washers and split pins.I think for the 6mm pins (rear pegs) I went with 1/4" and the front pegs with 3/8" but could be wrong, been a while since I did a pair. Also a small blob of weld on the carrier where the peg hits makes them sit straight, nothing worse than pegs hanging crooked IMO.
I’d recommend you get some aquarium heaters, one for your plating solution, one for your pasivate solution also….
