Post by EK283 »

Does anyone have a special badge/badges in good order for the front EK guards they would like to part with ??

Or is there anyone who can recommend a company that CAN repair and re chrome them ??

Queanbeyan Electroplating no longer repair white metal. The fellow who was doing it (Brett😀) left in June and the owner is too busy doing plating to get back into repairs. He recommended a crowd in SA but I can't recall the company name. Shame cause they were very good.

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

I second the quality of work by A Class here in S.A.

They have a good web page that outlines chroming things like FB or EK badges. They even chromed the resin badges I cast for my Ute.

Don’t be in a hurry if you do send to A Class Metal Finishers in Adelaide Greg. They are snowed under.

Had a look in the spare parts department. Thought I had one, but apparently I don't.

Yes indeed FB Badges !!

You can get them from Rares as well so Iv'e been tempted to put them on but no !!

I refuse to pay $320 each from old mate so I will get mine redone if possible, thanks to everyone for the help.
