Bill,
=20
I don=E2=80=99t believe that there was any cad plating on my TR3, I =
think everything ended up shiny zinc. =20
=20
The AH had cad plating on the weird thread body fasteners, some plates, =
jamb nuts and odd fittings for the hydraulic lines, sheet metal screws, =
and other odd fittings. Some of the small =C2=BC=E2=80=9D fine thread =
bolts were cad plated too, about 10% maybe? By and large, most of the =
hardware was shiny zinc plating on that one. I may have gotten it =
wrong, but all of the 10/32 posidrive stuff including nuts and washers I =
had done in shiny zinc. The clamps that hold the gauges to the dash are =
also cad plated.
=20
I did a fair amount on my TR6 too but not all of it. A lot more of that =
one was cad plated.
=20
I had a bunch of oddball stuff that I had accumulated over the years =
including brake fittings and whitworth stuff =E2=80=93 I had about 20# =
of that stuff shiny zinc plated a few years ago. I have it all =
organized by size, length and thread and use it as spares, a mini =
hardware store.
=20
I have had a lot of =E2=80=9Cjunk=E2=80=9D come through here over the =
past 20 years or so, I typically remove anything that is worth saving. =
When somebody=E2=80=99s car comes in for a repair and it has a stripped =
or wrong bolt in it, I try to match it up with a correct spare, I get a =
kick out of the various markings on the bolt heads and seeing everything =
match on a given assembly. =E2=80=9CUnbrako=E2=80=9D on the TR brake =
and suspension bits. =E2=80=9CR=E2=80=9D for the Austin Healey motor =
mounts, etc. =20

When do you zinc plate and when do you use cadmium?
=20
Interesting topic as I have been re-plating wheel nuts today using the =
Eastman zinc plating kit. Works pretty well in that it does a good job =
of plating but don=E2=80=99t seem to be able to get the shine that new =
hardware has.

Dave,
=20
They work, but they take forever and it=E2=80=99s a good idea to =
=E2=80=9Cpre clean=E2=80=9D=20
=20
On the last 2 cars I restored, I took every single last bit of =
=E2=80=9Cplated=E2=80=9D hardware from the car to a local plating shop =
in a couple of 5 gallon buckets, grease, rust and all. Springs, screws, =
washers, plates, nuts bolts, all of it. =20
=20
Just have to take photos and notes to get things back in the right =
place.
=20
For $120, an entire car worth of clean, shiny, rust free cadmium and/or =
light zinc plated hardware was returned in about a week.
=20
Just have to specify the finish you want.
=20
I=E2=80=99ll never clean big piles of hardware again.
=20
For small jobs (say a transmission or a front end re-do) I just put =
hardware in a bucket of paint thinner for a few days and give them a =
periodic spin with a mixer/paddle blade on a cordless drill. =20
=20
Couple rounds of that and a finish wash in some muriatic acid to eat up =
the rust and remaining grease (same method) (don=E2=80=99t leave the =
bits in too long). =20
=20
Rinse in clean water, dry, and hit with a light coat of clear spray =
paint.
