    An add on topic is what type of plating process is OK for a certain kind of part?

    Electroplating:
    hose clamps
    simple brackets
    vacuum booster

    Mechanical plating:
    calipers
    hubs
    critical bolts
    fuel lines
    suspension bolts/bushings

    Is mechanical plating even available for small batch runs...?

    Call Dave or Dave.

    Either will be glad to help I bet.


    My bet being only book smart, if the part is in NOT in any way stressed, or safety related, standard processes are probably ok.

    Everything else gets the $$$$$ treatment.

    Dave F is great so I hope he tunes back in. He's helped me a few times and I can't say enough good things about him.

    I wish guys like David F and Dave H had their own tech forum here.
