wild foamy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 hi everyone. are there any good places in/near berkshire where i can get my forks ground and re-chromed?, also some approximate costs my mates dad said he can get them rechromed through work, but would it be possible to prepare the forks by spinning them in the lathe and taking a few thou off until the chrome is gone? ta - Steve

Moderator drewpy Posted February 25, 2009 Moderator Posted February 25, 2009 and try fitforx the forks are "hard chromed" not the same as decorative chroming although you could get away with it for a few years ( i have at the moment) hard chroming is an engineering chrome used because it can be groung down to specs. used in hydraulic rams etc
