[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 186052, member: 8785"] I may be able to help you out as well. I have about ten M6 x 12mm that vary from good to fair, and 2 M6 x 20mm that are good. Of course, this is based on my not so calibrated eye ball. I can take a pic if you like. My first experience getting something plated was a disaster. I was green as a gourd, called up a local plater, $100 batch fee, so I grabbed up everything and off I went. When I got there, learned there was another fee for for "prep" :). I guess they felt sorry for me and did it all for $100. I wished they had turned me away. Again, I was green as could be. In my "batch", I had Z50 soft tail air cleaner housings, brake rods, springs, M8 bolts, nuts etc. Went back a few months later and picked up my order. Nothing fit because the plating was too think. Could not screw on a nut to any of the M8 bolts. The air cleaner housings would not fit. They re-plated the housings for free and I wrote it off as a learning experience. I was thrilled with the plating I had done a few years later. I'll take a close up pic of what I have. No harm if they are not the condition you need. Do you have a surplus of M6 x 10mm? That's the one that I always need. [/QUOTE]
