It really changed that frame and itīs actually about 1 mm for both sides. Hot sinc weakens the metal in fact, but it gives the tension for the chassis. So after + and - things I think it is a good improvement to do and it is qoite cheap way to protect the chassis.

0.05 mm you would get with the electrick plating...

Or this is what I have read and learned about Zinc plating.
