Zinc plating / oil lines
« on: September 11, 2019, 02:06:20 PM »
I've done my own zinc plate for a few years now and it does save time and money over all. I wasn't sure about the hoses due to the aluminum vs acid factor . I used cut up latex gloves to cover it and it worked well. Way better than $300 price for repops

True but speaking of original appearance lines . Braided would be easier / cheaper to come by
