Going to try this method out. I like KISS! 60 year old hardware from a well weathered Sunbeam Tiger front suspension. I used Klean-Strip (phosphoric acid based) to remove the last bits of rust after wire brushing as you showed. Otherwise my setup is now the same as in the video. I'll drop a comment on the results in a day or so.
For the first step (3:15 mark), what current level was set for the preparing the plating solution? I used a quarter amp just as a starting point, but might that be too low? Thanks!
Is there a limit the the thickness of the plating? If the bolt was left in the solution for an hour would it continue to plate? Thank you for a clear well presented video.
That’s a great question and I really don’t know. I would imagine the answer is yes but I’ve never tried that, for almost everything I plate after 10 minutes max I’ve got a decent, durable plating. Maybe someday I’ll leave something in for a while and see what happens. Thanks for watching.

Do you keep the heater in the zinc

it is better to cover it with == copper =
These started off zinc plated so for me zinc is the way to go. Copper might look nice for some applications though. Thanks for watching.
