Bolt refinishing

<< < (3/3)

nairb:
For the larger bolts, if they are zinc plated, I remove the old zinc and polish the bolts and take them to the local zinc plater for BZP.  The smaller items I do myself with my zinc platinig kit.

Zinc plating is much cheaper than chrome and usually much quicker.

Thanks for the information guys. Looks like I'll need to find a local platers for the long bolts that go through the cases that are not standard bolts.

I'm replacing the 'standard' bolts with stainless as I go as most of the ones I've removed are either non standard or broken.

Interesting about stainless reacting with the alloy. We use this at work didn't know it is so expensive!!!!

I've also done as SteveW suggests on any 'non engine' casing fasteners
