hi Dan
don't know how much you'll get charged but L&B plating might be worth a call, I've used them thru work and they know what's what.

Very Very expensive :shock:
But you dont want "Hard Chrome" . . .this is solely for bearing/wearing surfaces, and will end up a matt silver finish!
You need them to be stripped, polished and bright copper/nickel /chrome (triple chrome)
London and Brighton Plating will probably undertake the job, Get a price before you leave them tho. I'm reckoning around 200 to 300 sheets for the pair :cry:
But dont quote me on that !!!!!
