[Fot] Tumble cleaning - then treating the hardware?

[carl stenquist]

Scott,
Eastwood sells a zinc plating kit.  We used it for some under hood brackets
on the Datsun project we did about 6 years ago and the plating seems to
hold up pretty good.  Hood latch bracket, throttle linkage and other small
items.  It was simple to use, battery operated.
