Garage Night: New video - all about swingarm bearings

Yeah, though the problem is getting stainless bolts that have got the
flanged heads on them, or special oversized heads etc, plus there are
axles and the like that I want to recoat.

you can google the plating process if you have a suitable dc source

 

That's a valid concern and why the really REALLY anal retentive
restorers send every nut bolt and screw off to be replated with the
appropriate plating. I am so glad I'm not that picky.

 

Nope , but you might look up one of the home electroplating kits online . I
know they exist , but that's about it .
Also , with electroplating sometimes reversing the electrical polarity
will also reverse the process and strip the item .

 

SPS is a major supplier of _all_ kinds of fasteners. They ain't cheap,
but you might con one of their retailers into giving you a sample.
