The stem base was brass plated & double lacquered by Letchworth Plating ( Tel: 01462 684161 ) . I had 2 bases done for £40.00 & dropped off/collected so no P+P .
The alloy clamps were lightly hand polished , not blinged up because they were'nt when new & still have all the cast marks where they should be . The bolts were shown a dremel in a similar way , hardly ! lol .
Cheers for the comments guys , these kinda things mean more to me than just building a bike with NOS parts if you get me .
