Can anyone recomend a company in the midlands for zinc plating nuts bolts studs etc , phil.

with the costs associated and zinc being thinner than chrome, why not do it yourself.
I did it years ago, all I would say is dry and oil threads to prevent rust forming

I always do my own zinc plating but only plate nuts, bolts or studs if I can't buy them new or in SS form. Ideally, parts to be plated need to be in good condition and not pitted as a result of corrosion. Zinc plating is relatively easy to do with a kit costing less than £100 but does take a certain amount of experience to get good results.
