Re: [DML] Delorean galvanized frames

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

According to Mike Loasby, one of the senior engineers at the factory, they
did trials on a galvanised chassis frame, they liked everything except that
some of the threaded holes needed to be re-tapped out again, because of zinc
build up. This slowed down the production process too much..see his
technical video produced following the 1997 Eurofest.
