of things now has closed down.
Some of the liquid cooled aero engines used in the first world war had
water jackets made by this plating process, it being the only way to fabricate
the jacket around the cylinders.
One last thought, I think our friends in Australia had some made a while
back which were cast in bronze, someone may know if any of these are still
available.
Well, good luck.

There is now an even better painless way !

I have brand new perfect over riders and blade replicas that look like chrome but will last forever and need virtually no maintenance :-) Unfortunately I don't have any replica chassis yet that will last forever !
