Are there platers that specialize in nickle and cadmium plating model A parts? I would like to get my Instrument panel, Emergency Brake handle, and other parts refinished. I know the E. Brake handle had a combination satin / polished finish. I would like to get it done correctly the first time without buffing off all the original details. Any idea on the minimum order, quantity that they take, ect?

Sent my generator, starter and distributor out for rebuild. Those are the first parts to be rebuilt in my project!

Found some leads in the archives. Aero Propeller and Magna Plating. Any new information / prices on these folks?

I had areo plating do 10 wheel rings, 25 lug nuts, 4 hub caps, one spare tire nut and one light body. They did an excellent job and the cost without the shipping was about 300.00.

Floyd at Magna Plating on California in Burbank, CA will Cadmium plate anything you can fit in a 15 gallon drum for 50 bucks. He didn't charge me anything extra to do 6 20" wheel snap rings. UPS goes to his door and he is a Model A owner himself.
