Hi, an update following various attempts at zinc plating. There were instances where results obtained were quite satisfactory, but it was always an attempt and experimenting without guaranteeing success. So I just got tired of trying. Still, it has to be done, and as previously said there are far too many bits as you go along. So, I bought a readily made kit with suitable electrolyte and equipment which should do the trick. Unfortunately because of health hazard they can't supply yellowchromate, so such parts I will have to commission them. Also, I also got a sand blasting cabinet because of the many parts to be zinc plated or painted.
