Joe,
Was this a local plater or did you ship your stuff off? I'd like to do the
same, but being cut off from the rest of the world in Nebraska, I don't have
the luxury having the services next door.
Thanks,
Dave Linder

(thanks Mark for the tip) The stuff really looks great, and only cost me $70 for two bike's worth of hardware. All sorts of things like generator brackets, oil feed lines, swing arm acorn nuts, brake rods, axles, not to mention the various & sundry nuts and bolts. Recommendations: 1) Make a good list of the nuts & bolts. Record diameter, length, special features like head style, shouldered, etc. Also record the number of each and where it was removed from. I went in with 2 other guys who were doing Norton parts, and believe me, it can get tough trying to remember what |
| go where. I'm glad I made a list & you will be too. 2) Try to clean off rusty parts prior to taking them in. If cleaned first the finish will come out very bright. My plater tumbled the parts in some sort of process prior to plating, but some pieces he bead blasted first because of the rust. It can get expensive to pay him to do the drudgery. There was no problem with plating build-up interfering with the fit of parts-all the nuts & bolts thread together fine. A whole bunch cheaper |
