The original plating should be cad, this from the plater that did mine in
electroless nickel. I used the nickel to tighten up the linkage somewhat,
and I like the look. In general, you'll find cad on the loopframes, not
zinc. Better lubricity, longer life, etc.

| Hi All, With the recent discussion about zinc plating of Guzzi bits, a question comes to mind. Were the brake rods and linkage, shift linkage, bolts, etc. originally cadmium plated or zinc plated? I always assumed they were cad plated. I've got a box of stuff I'd like to have replated and would like to have it done as it was from the factory. Cheers, Charlie |
