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. ;-)
