for some reason I had it in my mind that Cad plating was not so common any more due to danger in processing and to have it done therefore was extremely costly, I have heaps of parts zinc plated, I took about 50kg of parts to my zinc plater down the road on Sat arvo, should get it all back tomorrow, $1/kg.
Cad plating is mandatory on some aircraft parts, so it will never completely go away.
It is relatively expensive though, at the aircraft quality level.
Nowhere near as expensive as show chrome though - since the parts only have to be clean for cad, not highly polished like for chrome.
$1/kg would barely pay for the zinc ??

Not sure if the commando is the same as a 650ss ,But i fitted a PD big valve head to a stock 650, the valves hit each other , thinking the cam must be a Dunstall as well?
