I have a good pair of us type repro rear shocks that have the chrome lifting on the shroud,can this part be removed and re-chromed? looks like there is a small flush pin that can be removed any ideas anyone? Cheers Paul J..

Yep thats how its done
The problem is that the US type shrouds are plastic not metal like the euro ones, so who the hell does plastic chroming?
Now where did I leave my Keys!
