1951 spokes/nipples/rims

[kg993]

I've been going through the Bruce Palmer book trying to verify that cad. plating is correct for spokes and nipples on the 51 FL. I can't find it stated in the book so I thought I would ask the experts here.
Also where do you recommend sending them and the rims to be refinished?

page 598. upper left it says 1951 plating and painting details. then cadmium plated: and it lists the spokes and nipples.

Hey thanks, I was looking on P.100 and the appendix.

[kg993]

I haven't sent anything out for plating for a long long time. Who can be recommended to do my rims and cad plate the spokes, nipples and maybe a few other parts?


Thanks, Kerry

I sent my rims to pauls plating in penna. the did an excellent job. Have not found anyone to do the spokes as of yet.

cad plating

I had cad plating done here. Good work, with $50 minimum.

Thanks, I've found numerous chrome platers so far but no cad platers. Want to send it all to the same place if possible. Will call Cascade tomorrow.

I checked with Cascade today. Cad seems to be all they do. The price is almost too good to believe. If there are no other suggestions I think I'll try them.

Yes, that is all he does. Clear and silver.
