    You need a shop that does Mil-Spec plating. In Ca. it's Embee Plating in Santa Ana. In your area, you are going to have to find a shop. Google is your friend.

    Mainly abrasion and corrosion protection, used in military parts quite a bit.

    When you look up anodize shops on line , look for Mil-A-8625 type 3 hard coat. Type 3 anodize is different from regular anodize as it is much thicker .001 build up on a surface and it is almost file hard. used in many aerospace, military and medical applications where wear and superior corrosion resistance is needed

    Call around . . . plenty of shops offer it, few do anything other than batch pricing which means you'll pay a flat fee up front whether you have one piece or thousands.

    Hard to believe hard anodize is called for on the case. I have never seen anodizing work on castings. Any shop I ever used wouldn't touch castings.

    Inside the case and the insides of both front and back bearing plates. And rotors according to the book.

    Supposed to tighten up clearence and protect the surface.
