Can a gear linkage assembly be re-chromed?

(1/4) > >>

Oggie400F:
The swivel joints on the linkages appear to be ‘riveted’ into the linkage arms (see pics) and am wondering if these can somehow be removed for the linkages to be re-chromed and then refitted afterwards.

Has anyone here had their gear linkage assembly re-chromed and if so how did you go about it?

Pretty sure Graham Curtis who is making  your exhaust repair panel has these done all of the time...so worth contacting him... I had mine done way back in 1986 and honestly can't remember how I did it.

Thanks Ash.
I will contact Graham to see if he has a solution and will post an update.
I’m sure that he will offer good advice.

I have already received the repair panels from him but need to get the collector de-chromed before I can begin the repair.
I will be posting all of the stages of the process once I get started. 👍

I bought myself a new aftermarket item like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292633661096

Cheers Athame57

I have managed to disassemble the linkage ball joints and will get the originals re-chromed.

Just out of interest, how did you find the pattern part for quality and originality?
