500 K cafe racer conversion - build thread
Ewan 500 K1:
Got my bits back from powder coating today . £165 including a tiny bit of spot welding. Very happy with the job, the coaters blanked off all bearing surfaces, thread holes etc.

Cumbria Plating Services at Currock in Carlisle , who I've used in the past, are no longer doing chrome and I'm hearing bad reports on Cumbria Metal Finishings at Longtown Cumbria.
Anyone got any recommendations on a plater who will do via the post ?

woooooof ......just got a quote for chroming by sending off some photos. £168 for the bits in the pic above. Am I a cheapskate or is that well over the odds ? Any views on nickel plating ?
