Hard Chroming

#1 PostAuthor: DogsbolloxofZ1B » Mon Oct 22, 2007 7:47 pm

Does anyone know of a company 'down souf' that does Hard chrome plating? I need to have a pair of Fork tubes re-done. ?150 for new ones Vs chroming seems a tad expensive.

Think there's a firm called Philpotts ?? in the Luton area that do hard chrome plating as well.
A firm in the midlands quote was almost as much as some brand new fork legs from Z-POWER :roll:

I have had two sets of fork tubes done by Philpotts and I was pleased with the results.
