Recently aquired a set of original wheel spinners for my 1968 S1,5 OTS. They need rechroming / refettling etc.
All of the rechroming work I have had up date was done by Howells in Walsall. There work is excellent.

Before I ask for a quote from them, I would like to get one or two alternatives. Has anyone got a suggestion, or good experience of any other rechromer for this type of work

Thanks

I’ve got three sets of AB1466/7 spinners that I’m sending off to Derby Plating next week, as per above post link.

I like shiny things :lol:

I’ve also invested in one of the spinner removal tools from Lionel so hopefully they’ll remain that way!
