Hello, I am searching for the chrome beading strips that are used to trim the cantrails on my 1963 FHC, can anyone recommend a supplier?

Steve is correct. You will need to make a simple jig up to make bending it easier.

Thanks for the advice! In the end I managed to fettle up the original chrome beading as the only new beading available was chrome on steel which was not suitable for bending to the small radius required.

That's why we use the bonnet chromes; they are brass.
