Since, Mike (Kansas 914) brought up the question of the similarity in looks of yellow zinc to cad here is information for you to make your own informed decision. Keep in mind, cad plating has been banned in other countries and is very strictly regulated here in the USA due to the very serious side effects on health due to working with it.

Hey 914ers, Forget that CADMIUM can make you STERILE and is toxic. I have another reason to NOT go that way: Years ago, with my 1st 914, I rebuilt the engine and had ALL the engine tin CAD PLATED. It looked GREAT for a while, but then DID RUST! I was very disappointed! Today, I can only think about POWDER COATING!! It's a very tough plastic coating and is darn near indestructible. I set my self up with a powder coat spray kit and an old electric oven in my garage, but there are those who can do it for you. I can suggestion is a very honest guy: Barry in N.C., who is a site member and powder coats tons of Porsche parts in any color, at diehardcamaroguy@yahoo.com. Best, Terry |
