chrome headlamp
First attempt at getting an old headlamp rechromed revealed a lot of small holes under the old pitted plating rendering it too difficult to replate.
Fortunately I picked one up from Bill Littles the other day for £7.00 . Good result on that one, though plating is not cheap nowadays.
I might fill the holes in the other one and have it coloured the same as the frame with a chrome rim, unsure on that yet.
Aesthetics are an important part of getting the grumph to look right,
so many I have seen seem to be just any old bit bolted on without any thought for how it looks. No doubt some would argue
that is how all 'bitsa' are made -using what is lying around or is cheap.
