Whilst searching the net for a company who was prepared to repair Mazak, I came across these people. www.chromerestorationspecialist.co.uk/about-us/collection-delivery/ I decided to give them a pair of Ford Corsair door handles to try out. Now I didn't take a before photo simply as in the past these tests have ended in disaster. But basically the handles were pitted quite badly, but were the better of two pairs I had. In any case I reckon there was at least a days repair work on each handle, where they drill out the pits and solder up the holes etc. They did warn me, on receipt of the handles that perhaps still they wouldn't be 100%, they were that bad. Anyway after a couple of weeks, there was a parcel from them, part of the contents I've photographed below. Chrome is difficult to photograph, but they are 99% perfect. It worked out with the VAT and carriage £117 for two handles. I was well happy with these, considering how bad they were. Obviously the better your chrome is to start with the cheaper it will be.     |
