[Healeys] plating parts

[Tracy Drummond]

I highly recommend putting a light coat of clear 3M rattle can clear on the
fasteners to avoid flash rust.  On larger parts polish them well and coat. I
used this on a midget for all the fasteners and a year later the uncoated
parts are showing rusty signs.

Warm Regards,

Tracy Drummond

I have used the Caswell electroless nickel kit on many small parts in the
restoration of two vintage Formula Ford racecars. Works as advertised. The
process of calculating the amount of nickel used is cumbersome so I just add
more solution when the quality declines. The appearance is affected by the
surface finish. If you bead blast the part, you will get a satin finish. If
the part is polished you will get a bright shine.

Has anyone tried the Caswell nickel plating kit and would like to share
their
opinion?
