Starter looks great, getting really good at this plating lark now! Just ordered a couple of clutch cable adjusters & lock rings from Silver's, 36 quid, and you can't even see 'em under those rubber boots  |

Didn't think they'd plate with all those grooves, and didn't expect them to be 9 quid each piece! Cut my order down fom 3 off each to 2 off each |

If I'd got you to plate them I'd have saved enough to get us all chip baps for the rest of 2017  Mind you, the way the weather's going, there won't be many more rides to Peel this year  |

Any idea why it took 5 months to get them back
Glad I bought the 2 headlight Rims from the French supplier would have got really P1553D off waiting all that time
