It was a strange set up charles - sent the parts of to get done then tried phoning up a cpl of weeks later - probably rang for about a week before i got an answer ( it might just have been that there was a lot of machinery noise in the place ) chap said yes got them - should be ready in about a week - they turned up at my door yesterday in great nick - no invoice nothing - i havent paid a penny for them - im an honest chap and theyve done a great job so il call them on monday to pay up - i think they were just an old fashioned trusting type of company - not many about.

I said to the chap that ive a pile of other bits that need doing ( now ive seen the workmanship im going to fire as much to them as i can ) and he said right dont send payment yet - get them to us and we can settle up for the lot when they are done - what a great attitude.
I think the secret is to get your parts back to as close to base metal as you can and the plating takes really well.
