Long shot I know !!!
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.

They repair and have developed a process to chr0me cast / pot / white metal.
I had a pair of 55 Ramble Nash tail light s done.

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.

Got this set - chrome is average at best on specials - stars are pretty good but a couple of pins have lost the tip

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.
