What is the reason for the drum rotors being nickle plated? Does it actually improve the performance or just eye candy? KJ

I'm guessing with oil its slippery that just a steel/steel contacts also rust prevention would be another guess. also high quality workmenship.
AF where are you on this one

I'm not sure, but I believe Nikel does not rust... But I may be wrong.

Sure did. I got a "MT" drum here with a key, and I need a rotor for it. I guess I fail to see your comment of the lack of plating. The drum is a WWII type and the key I'm guessing is a WH type-Adlake
