Guys,
I have ordered some new brake discs for the 996 and am thinking of getting them electroplated to prevent the non-friction surfaces from rusting.
Possibly Zinc, Cadmium or galvanised.
I hate it when the outer and inner surfaces begin to corrode along with the drilled holes and vents.
(I appreciate the coating will wear off the friction surface very quickly and would not have this done if there was a way to mask it off, but the process dictates that it needs to be coated.)
I normally paint with zinc rich coating to stop rust but this only lasts a year or so and i want to step it up a notch to reduce maintenance and ease cleaning. Possibly even prolong the life of the disc.
Has anyone else ever had this done or enquired/discussed it. I have found a company that offer it as a service for £24/pair in the uk.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Regards.
Neil
