I get them in bulk from a local specialty hardware store... kindve $$$ but nothing like SOR... I will look at the name on the box later... they are special order... usually takes me a week.

i too want to get yellow zinc'ed bolts and nuts since they last longer against corrosion and stuff......i will have to look into that!

i might buy a lot of OEM bolts and take it down to the local coater... see what he can do me for.... he says he has good prices of gold zinc plating......

Thanks Kurt, we are just starting assembly and have enough for awhile.

Maybe someone can help me get this sorted:

The yellowish/pink (iridescent?) plated items are what? I see a ton of stuff that fits this description labeled as cadmium plated.

I've also seen references to yellow/gold zinc which I assume is a zinc + chromium. It has similar visual characteristics.

I suspect people are calling parts cad plated when they're not. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The ones I get (and I assume OEM) are ZINC plated... Hope that helps...
