But yes, Cr6 or Hexavalent Chromium salts are used in the pasivation of the cadmium, which gives it its yellow colour, and the real reason why it is now stricty controlled and prohibited process. It's NOT chromium plating though, its cadmium plating as the name suggests Cadmium is naturally silver in colour similar to zinc.
If you really want to know how nasty hexavalent chromium is, just Google Erin Brockovich or Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_groun...r_contamination Any part manufactured in the EU requiring plating will be plated with zinc, and not the distinctive gold/ yellow colour of Cadmium plate. Mini master cylinders are a prime example On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

I would tend to agree that the minispares on-car adjustable ones are the best, and make setting up the suspension a doddle.

I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |
