Master cylinder cap replating

[Steve B.]

I had my original master cylinder cap replated for my 67 a couple of years ago but I am still not happy with the color. I want it to look like this. Where can I get my cap replated to look like the one pictured. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to tell you, but that looks like the spray bomb kit from Eastwood.

Looks like a rattle can job to me as well.

It won't look like the picture but if you're interested in correct plating, call Steve Gregori 559 875-0290, excellent plating work and fast turn around time. He's an NCRS member.

I had Steve replate mine in 08. While at Bloomington last year a judge commented that the cap was not gold enough. I did not receive a deduct but want to get it right if he was correct. Here is a pic of mine, should I just leave it alone?

Good point, it does look a little too silvery. Richard Fortier (DriveLine) also does plating. I had one cap done by each and I was satisfied with the gold content of both.

Steve Gregorio did my cap a few yrs ago. It turned "silvery" over time so I sent it back and he redid it under warranty. No problem since.

Master cylinder cap replating, here's how it is done

Plating:



Afterplating:



Then after a little post plate shining, the dichromate dip:



Then while drying, hit it with a hair dryer if you want to bring out some reds and greens:



Having fun,

I will give Steve a call and see what he says. Thanks again.
