Summary for ford plating specifications Discussion
Ford plating specifications on line? The question asks what S12 and S52 plating specifications are and whether they can be downloaded. Alan Batz asks if the specs are available online. Jeffrey Holmes, CEF replies that, to the best of his information, automotive manufacturers do not maintain these specifications online. He adds that PDFs may be available for download through GlobalSpec, but likely at a cost. The thread does not define S12 or S52 in detail, and it does not confirm a free public source for the Ford documents. The practical takeaway is that these plating specifications are not typically posted directly by the manufacturer, so a paid document source may be the most likely route if the exact Ford specs are needed.
Please advise what S12 and S52 plating specifications are and can they be downloaded?
Thanks!

To the best of our information, automotive manufacturers do not maintain them on line, Alan; but you may be able to download pdfs (at a cost) from Global Spec.

A. Whoever requested the quote should supply the spec. Cheeeeze, how do they know what they are asking for and how to inspect your work otherwise?
