Good morning folks! I hope everyone is doing well. Still tinkering with this little 86 125m. The two "fender stay" brackets that bolt to the bottom side of the seat appear to have been yellow zinc plated from the factory.....said finish has now worn down to pretty much nothing. Does anybody have any recommendations on where I could get them re-plated? I've looked around a bit in my local area and nobody seems to do much yellow zinc.

Whoever Mike Palmgren at Vintage Motorsports Restoration uses has to be the best Yellow Zinc plating I have seen.
My coater does it but it never looks as good as the clear zinc coating they do.

You may want to consider doing it yourself.

I've used the Caswell system and the Eastwood system. The Caswell system has blue, yellow, olive chromates...... The entire system is a little costly compared to the Eastwood system but there sure are a lot of fasteners on your 125.
