If you take the stem to a chromers, they will remove the flaking chrome for you. Some, dependent on their expertise, will also re-chrome it for you, which in my opinion, but not to bash the job done this one in this thread, is far better than polished :daumenhoch:

Totally agree, since you keep the original machining marks, but I didn't fancy the additional expense of that on a stem I hadn't actually planned to use initially

I'm not on FB so that's flown over my head sorry but looks a tidy TS

He removed it too, think he sanded it off, rather than chemically though

Cheers that's what I was wondering.

Happy enough with the finish, especially considering how I got it. And all the bolts are the same ones

I think that purchase has done you proud :daumenhoch:

Terry I like doing things myself if I can but always stayed clear of dodgy chromed parts as thought they were to much pain in the arse to do.
I just wanted to clear up how this was done.
The nearest chromers to me is miles away and I prefer to drop things off to explain. With that it all adds up to big £££

Anyway back to the GT :)
Good old sunstrip doing the hard work.
And everything raw /even the black brake, once I realised they were anodized rather than paint.
So now everything is en route to SBD for some special powder coating.

Dan did his magic again, and with the helps of some Tiger Drylac that Trevor Henry let me use.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh!
