Re: Chrome Plating Quality - UK

Derby Plating are phenomenally good
Done my MGA, midget and 2 etypes for me.
Particularly impressed by my mashed deformed spinners …they dressed and chromed them to perfection.
My midget bumpers were done 30yrs who and are still perfect

Re: Bumper fitment dilemma

I used superglue ..very little needed and really good for the tip where it had to curve round the point
The pressure between body and bumper should hold the rubber in place

Re: Rear hub removal

I agree the splined hub can be tight but once you’ve screwed in the pusher and released the grip the hub should slide off

Re: The crunch of rusty metal parting ......

Which side by the way?

My RHS (drivers) winder was very worn and I managed to purchase a second hand one from the states! …being from passenger window of a LHD car it was less well used

Re: Exhaust system

I fitted a SS slightly larger bore exhaust to my 3.8 coupe and it’s quite loud

I have just finished my 3.8 OTS and it has a Jaguar classic mild steel (with chromed rear resonators). …it sounds perfect. Deep but smooth and not too loud

Would definitely recommend
