Don't have the figures to hand but having checked it out a while ago we
have moved from the gold/yellow zinc passivation on steel parts to the
silver/clear finish:

UK spec: BRIGHT ZINC PLATE TO BS 1706 Fe/Zn 8 c 1A

US spec: BRIGHT ZINC, ASTM B633, TYPE III, Fe/Zn 8

This has a much lower resistance. We found the "gold" unacceptable for
emc considerations.
