#1 PostAuthor: Wardy » Wed Apr 03, 2013 12:21 pm

Can anyone recommend someone good at re-chroming fork sanctions, preferably somewhere close to Bristol?

Cheers

I would also vouch for philpots. Think I paid £157.00 plus P&P but worth it. $

Have a word with Nick here; http://www.realitymotorworks.com They're in Bristol & their powder coating is second to none, They should be able to point you in the right direction for your fork re-chroming too.

I have used Hard chrome plating a couple of times & can't fault 'em. http://www.hardchromeplating.co.uk/

Thanks lads.
Gona give Reality motorworks a shout first as their local and use Philpots for the chroming as the backup.
Cheers.
