Default Plating kits for carburetors

I have a Holley for an LT1 I plan to rebuild. Are there any kits out there to replate the body. I have checked Ecklers and Eastwood and the do not seem to have the right kits.

Try Caswell Plating, they make a Dichromate plating kit. It is farely inexpensive. If something is already potmetal or zinc plated then all you have to do is soak it in the Dichromate bath with the yellow crystals.
Here is the link to Caswell Platinghttp://www.caswellplating.com
