Hope this might be useful for some of you
A friend of mine told me about a place in Sheffield that you could walk up to the side door with a bucket of nuts and bolts and they would plate them for you for £30, they would be ready in a few days
So that's what I did
Here's the results
Northern Blacking Ltd
47 Catley Rd
, Darnall,
Sheffield
S9 5JF
The only thing I would say is my oil tank bracket for damaged because I had a lot of heavy stuff in the same bucket

Re: Zinc Plating
I think the guy doing my stuff just stuck it in a hesian sack and put it in the drum on a regular run, In pretty impressed with the results
Apparently they use 3 big drums , the 1st one degreases , the second removes the rust and the 3rd plates
The really rusty parts I maybe should have cleaned up a bit before I handed them over, but the parts that had just light surface rust came out great
I'm already planning my second bucket

That's a great deal. Sheffield is a helluva walk for me though.

You could always stay over with me on your way to the boat.
There is no such thing as bad drink, just some better than others.

More than I could do.
