Fork Rechroming

[guest1378]

I'm having the fork seals changed on my SRX this week, which will hopefully get it through the MOT !  I've been advised that they might not stay sealed for too long due to pitting on the forks.  Last time I had some forks re-chromed (many years ago!) I sent them to Philpots  http://www.pittedforks.co.uk/   Are they still the recommended people for the job or does anyone have any other preference please ?

Yes, I've had two pairs done by them including a pair of Marzocchi M1R 41.7mm (!) tubes, a first class job !.

I had a pair of fork stanchions done recently (beginning of this year) by Philpots.  First class job especially as they include delivery both ways in the price

There is another place that Bill recommended. I remember an article about them in Classic Mechanics a few years ago. Here`s the link for them. I dont think there is much in the price.

I don't know if it's typical but a chap in the Laverda club used those people that Ian posted and said that they were a bit like 'dropping a pebble down a well and waiting for the splash', the splash never came and he ended up chasing his parts for several weeks before they eventually turned up. A good job mind you !. You pays your money...........................
