Just got my wishbones and other suspension bits back from the zinc platers. Now to por 15 them and refit over the weekend.
Should last for a while now.

Re: zinc plated wishbones
How much did it cost to have the suspenstion bits done? Will you have to clean the zinc coating off where the ball joint push into?

Re: zinc plated wishbones
Will post pics soon.
The dipping and plating cost £125. I don't think the plating will cause a problem with the ball joints.
I left my bushes in as the seem ok and at an extra £200+ a set I can do these later when required.
Will be refurbishing the steering rack and fitting new ball joints all round so the car should be good and tight once done.

I got POR15 all over my hands, face and hair. I chose to dive in to my defender chassis painting without reading instructions...
...a brillo pad and a few layers of skin later...
...lesson learned.
