Zinc plating small motorcycle parts [Florida] 

August 26, 2006

I am restoring a 1972 Suzuki GT750, and a lot of the small parts are not avalible. Most of what I need to do was zinc plated. This question I have is, what kind of power supply do I need and what electrolyte is used in this process? I thank you and anyone that responds in advance, Ace.

You can consult our booklist for a few books on this subject, Ace, but the thing to do realistically is simply to take your parts to a plating shop for replating.
