Needing the detail of MFZn2-B

I already know the MFZn2-B is the Mazda standard. But I need to know the detail of this spec. Like the thickness of zinc plated and the salt spray hours. Please help me!

While I respect the fact that your looking for the specification prior to doing the job, I have a couple of concerns: (1) you only mentioned thickness and I'm sure this auto industry specification requires consideration of salt spray, embrittlement, chromate color (or perhaps hex-free), etc. etc. To imply that if you only had the thickness, this is the key to complying with the spec is dangerous! (2) any good customer requesting plating to a specification should be capable of providing the spec - how else would you ensure that you're indeed working to the most current revision of the standard. As a plating practitioner that has been involved in writing and revising plating specifications for decades, YOU NEED THE SPEC IN WHOLE to make an informed decision whether or not you can comply.
