Hi John,

I left the cam and shafts installed when I zinc plated mine. I removed 
the spring, glass bead blasted the parts and sprayed electrical contact 
cleaner while moving the cam to remove any residual glass beads. After 
the plating I oiled the shaft and used some grease on the cam surface, 
and thin smear of black permatex form-a-gasket on the cork before 
installing. Here's some before/after pics. Think it will be good for at 
least another 40 years. ;-)
