Topic: Electroplating or zinc plating

[rocs]

Does anyone have a source for getting their old bolts zinc plated? I searched and saw a lot of people getting it done or doing their own DIY but no professional sources

Why do you want to use the old ones ? When you can get new ones.

Because it's much cheaper. Oem bolts are expensive for original restorations.

DIY is simple, cheap, and, strangely, satisfying!

A lot of parts you find will be discontinued and nolonger made.

I’ve been playing for a while. I usually use it for some part that I can’t replace. Fantastic when a part turns out “as new”. Read the threads here and then give it a shot!

If you are in the DFW area of North Texas, I'd recommend Arrow Plating in Ft Worth.  Taken many bikes worth of bolts down there over the years.  Good guys.
