|  Gold cad plating sources 
			
			Who is everyone using for doing gold cad plating besides the brake booster rebuilders?  I need a pair of hood hinges for our 409 project plated. Thanks |

			He’s a member here. I think.   I’ll text him.   He’s a F body guy in the Chicago area.   He does hood latches.  They are the phosphate, but the PCs inside  are cad.   I’ll ask. I’ll post mine up when I get it done, they are concours. He also makes a few parts too.

			I have 2 sources.  One does cad dichromate and the other nzinc. The cad is a softer/flatter finish and the zinc is shinier. |

			I asked Woody, here’s his place.  Colorado plating. I sent PCs to booster Dewey when I had my booster done, it was very reasonable to get a few brackets redone.

			Thanks all. I found a couple places locally, one is a customer so I might try that first.  Lots of commercial fastener industry business here in town and therefore commercial platers too.  Will advise.

			I dropped off the hinges today at a good customer of ours - will post pics when I receive them back.  He does large scale commercial plating - so pretty sure he is not going to be interested in doing the small scale stuff us car guys would need.
