--- Quote from: Lynx on May 06, 2014, 11:12:44 AM ---A quick update on this. I have bought a replacement rear brake arm for £20. He's going to do that obviously, but also my centre stand grab handle and handlebars. There not that bad but as it's free, I might as well As long as he doesn't loose them  :-\).

So what was the outcome , did they come good in the end !!

Hi Ash. They still have my spare brake arm, frame handle and handle bar. Been about 3 weeks now.

I'm been asked to make a comment by Steve concerning a recent job by Mark @ R&S Electroplating, I decided to give him a go because he is based in Manchester, so no postage/returns where involved.
The 1st batch took 3 weeks, July 2014 (£200) which I was happy with
The 2nd batch took 4 weeks, August 2014 (£300) which included the 16 inch very blistered wheels. Very very impressed with the wheels.
I did mention to Mark that its a winter project, and I was in no rush.
I will be using rschrome.co.uk again

I've got Collins Chemical Blacking a mere mile from where I live.  Nice guys, very good, do stoving, powder coating, and plating with just about anything.  I wait until I've saved up a box of stuff for chroming and then tote it down.  They always do a good job, although their idea of time would baffle Doctor Who sometimes, but then they're hardly alone in that.  They do a lovely job on the refurbed 400F gear linkage assemblies I sell.

Hi .. Did he give you a price breakdown? Particularly on rims.

These were the prices a fellow 250K0 restorer  paid (I also think Quality Chrome near me quoted 100/rim)

Hi,

Anyone used these people for chroming.

A fellow CB250K0 restorer has used them and gave a good report.

Cheers ... AshD

Regarding  This post. I asked the guy to confirm the prices he paid for rims, as I thought his prices were too good to be true, and he sent me his invoice which was 100 quid each not 50 he told me initially. They were really ropey to start with though and I mean ropey!!!  He also paid the following: kickstart 20, downpipe 35,handlebars 30, 2 mudguards 165 the pair, chainguard 55. This is for a '68 CB250K0

Think I may give Quality Chrome a bash again to save paying any delivery /loss in transit. they are about 7 miles from me.

cheers ... AshD
