Master cylinder black anodising

DaveZ1 · #1 PostAuthor: **DaveZ1** » Wed Nov 23, 2011 6:52 pm

Has anyone ever had a Z1A master cylinder re- anodised? I recently bead blasted mine back to bare metal and sent it to Moss Metal Finishing to be redone but the finish is miles away from the original. More like a matt grey than a semi gloss black like the original. I know they were probably anodised originally because of any brake fluid spillage taking off any other kind of finish. I am wondering if powder coating would be durable enough? Anyones thoughts or experience in re-anodising would be gratefully accepted. Cheers Dave.

powder coat is pretty good, Ive done 3 master cylinders and callipers, one over 10 years old - no probs. I always wipe off any drips / spills but painted ones seem to peel just in the vicinity of the master cylinder cap

Caswell do anodising kits for home use I think

Maybe something to do with ongoing site improvements? I'm sure taffus will be along soon to 'put us straight'.

I have tried to have this done in Australia... With the answer from many companies, because they have had brake fluid in them they are very hard to anodise.

A member of this forum from New Zealand (Toy Collector) said he had success with black anodising.
I contacted him about an address .. He then seemed disinterested and said that I must be able to find an anodising company in Oz!
