I'm thinking those cases were originally Cadmium plated as zinc is too shiny
and if you zinc without the clear chromate bath (shiny finish) I dont think the zinc will live.
Curious if you have a plan ???

And what about the copper bushing spot welded into bottom of that round "can"
How do you protect that or do you ?????

As I have a BOX full of those wiper motors, In interested in your process and results.

Good questions Chuck.

I have also heard that cad plating is the correct finish.

The copper bushing spot welded into the bottom (which is news to me) is what the armature sets in - right? I am not sure how to address this issue.

I did just read in the service manual that the “....end case and field assembly is serviced as a unit.” I hope that doesn’t mean it is connected together in some challenging way.
