A lot of that would polish out but a re-chrome would certainly bring you perfection, all being well, Revs.
Do you have a trusted re-chromer and will you be separating it ?
There is a thread here from a month or two ago that has details of replacement rivets.......can anyone remember where it is?

I've got some chromed rivet screws left over from my refurb...perfect for the job. Let me have your address and I'll pop 4 in the post for you...free of course, I haven't got any 2BA nuts but they're easy to get and they're always zinc plated (I used locknuts). We're in the middle of moving home so give me a couple of weeks. Cheers, Gordy

Got your address Revver, all my garage stuff is packed away in boxes ready for the move, I'll have a quick look if I can find the rivet screws, if not I'll dig them out in a couple of weeks when we move and unpack...good luck with your refurb.
