Hi does anyone know how much new engine casings are or is it cheaper to rechrome!!!

what do you think??

I know a little of the process, though I suspect it's simpler to just get new casings.

Chrome and similar electroplate coatings are very thin and filling any deep scratches would take a lot of layering.

looks like new casings it is then its like trying to find hens teeth getting used ones thanks Ttaskmaster

as a guide for you just had cissy bar & rack re chromed ( cost £50) front exhaust down pipe (£40) both were not badly pitted -ian

If the pitting is not bad, then you can get one of those mobile guys who electro-plates metal pits with in-situ silver & gold plating (usually car badges and the like).

Some of them will do chrome.

I only know of one guy, but he's in Inverness, preparing to move to France (if he hasn't already)!!

Deeply pitted surfaces will require many passes, though.

I imagine your engine casings, being so close to the torrent of grit from the road surface, will be somewhat knackered?

Its the same old problem standard chrome peeling off

still it was time for a rebuild anyway

i may be lucky on evilbay

thanks people
