i know an appaling one called Sylmar near Ellesmere Port that shut down shortly after destroying most of the tin on my 1975 Yam RD :angry5: (I think i'm ok to name 'em if they no longer exist?)
Be VERY careful who you trust with your precious parts- go by recommendation of someone you trust (i.e. MMA members

)

Sorry, Mods, but I feel us English are far too stiff upper lip and I think if a company has wronged you then they can be named and shamed. What are the opinions? (I don't know any good chrome platers, by the way!)

Ok Kev & paul
There are two platers in Hull but they cant fit a B Body bumper
In there tanks.
A mate of mine had his coronet bumpers done by a company in
west yorkshire and they were as good as scrap when he got them back.
This is why i posted this hopeing someone had some recomendtions.
Thanks anyway.

Derby Plating, in, erm, Derby, have a good reputation. However when I asked about getting some stuff done it was horrendously expensive.

I don't know if he would be able to help but Karl Russell Electroplating has a decent Rep in Showplating Lambretta and Vespa bits.
If you click http://www.yamaha-rd.com/forum/topic-437.html there is some talk of him and contact details.
He used to work for a platers and did a few custom projects himself to first class standerd.
Now set up on his own.
I think he may have done bumpers before for some Jags.
Oh yeah and hes in your town too!
