Help, Can anyone recommend where (preferably in the Midlands) I can get some parts rechromed consisting of front and rear guards and grabrail from a 75 900 Z1B please? Any idea what sort of price would be reasonable?
Thanks,
Roger :?:

Call Alan at Marque Restore - google it, he's got a website.

they did EXCELLENT work on a Suzi GT concours resto I did. They're resto specialists rather than commercial platers - makes a difference.

Downside? Not cheap. Front Mudguard was £85 but I said I wanted it to look Japanese rather than British - he understood and brought it in.

Being a metal polisher by trade and working in the plating trade for 30 years your right mainkz there is a world of difference between commercial and resto platers.

Roger, Marque restore have a unit just outside Bulkington, Nuneaton, so aren't that far from you.
Never used them, but have heard only good things.
ps, i know where it is if you need directions.
