Stripping Zinc plating using sulphuric acid

Great work Andy  :daumenhoch:

Top tip  :coolsmiley:

SteveG:
This explains why the plating came off some go-kart hubs. The chrome rims were rusty so I soaked them in vinegar for a while, didn't really fix the rims but the hubs were nice and clean !
I need to rebuild some old racer wheels with double butted spokes and your tip will make getting them plated a lot easier, thanks.

nosepickben:
Excellent guide there Andy. You'll have to measure the diameter of 72 and 96 spokes then find a corresponding beverage receptacle for precise fit if you ever repeat the job.

Black Marigolds are available you know  ::)
