when I fixed up a set I had them electroless nickel plated with a special plating that has an amalgam of nylon in the matrix, I know its a bit space age but we should take advantage of technology where we can!!! The other advantage of e/nick is that it goes on evenly and doesnt need grinding after deposting , the forks have worked well in Wally Haylocks TT rep over a period of about 5 years.
