He sorted my hutch forks and bars. I wanted the brake mount hole filling in on the forks. The job was so good that you can't tell they were ever drilled. Outstanding work. Phil also extended my bars that had been cut down - again the quality of the work is second to none. He's :4_17_5:

Dont bother getting the chrome stripped first as the brazer can remove what he needs to do the work
then you can send to chromer for stripping & chroming

If I were you I would get chrome removed before any repair
If you sand old chrome off you will remove metal with it and loose
Shape of tube if you are not careful
Metal needs to be as clean as possible whenever welding ;)
