WTB: Cad Plated Stuff
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some elements that are cadmium-planed in good to great condition, shiny'n'golden. I am looking for injector lines (turbo W123), linkages, P/S cap, oil cap and cruise control actuator cap. PM if you have anything in these lines!

There is a company ( Caswell? ) that makes home gold cad replacement coatings.
The real gold cad coating pretty much went away 5 years ago due to enviro issues with the process. From what I recall, the cad really isn't gold, it was the last step that caused the gold. Newer stuff is silver / clear. Take a look at industrial / construction hydraulic fittings as many used to be gold and have changed the process to silver. |

No, real Cad plating shops are still around. The finish is the correct faded gold, not the shiny yellow-gold of zinc plating. Check for shops that perform CAD plating for aerospace purposes.
