Bolt plating kit for Christmas
So my wife bought me a Caswell Copy Cad/Zinc Plating kit for Christmas... It's been coming in handy re-doing all the factory hardware on my 06 Legacy rebuild and I have a feeling I will be using this on some Beretta hardware...
Kit plating some rack and pinion hardware. Before on left after on right. Crank bolt, before After cleaning rust off and polishing with wire wheel
After plating
Set of front swaybar brackets for the subie.
All in the 1.5Gal kit was $230-$240 I believe with the Blue/Clear chromate. You can get a Yellow, or Olive drab chromate as well if you want. Other parts I ordered were two submersible heaters to get the degreaser up to 150° and the plating tank to 110°, and a $50 DC adjustable current power supply.

Nice. Caswell is awesome. I've been using their Stainless Steel Blackener, both the dip and the gel varieties. They sell good stuff...
