I see quite a bit of nickel plating on stressed components like suspension
parts.
Is there any reliability difference between electro plated nickel and
electroless plated nickel?
When I look at photographs of pre-war racers, often the leaf springs are
enclosed in either leather gaiters of they are wrapped in string.
Does anybody know what was the reason springs were protected in that way.
If it was such a good idea, why does nobody do that today?
