This is the homebuilt forum, right? Nothing illegal about its use at all.... You're right, Mr. Blueskies. I stand corrected. Cad plating on a washer is unnecessary but it sure helps on the bolt and nut. Now safety is an entirely different matter.... Most if not all washers I see in the hardware stores are plated, if not Cad then nickel. I don't recall seeing any plain ones lately... The VAST majority are bright zinc plated.

Yep, galvanized means zinc coated (by electroplating). A lot of car body parts are nowadays too, they figured out how to make paint stick to the zinc coating, look nice, and cost low enough to still turn a profit.
