Does anyone knows if it possible to get parts like the mk1 doorhandles and same metals like that rechromed in UK???

Anyone tried??

Cheers René

A lot of rechromers won't touch Mazak/monkey metal. This lot will apparently

Haven't used them myself.

Hi mate

I have some parts out for rechroming now..

But as you said, not many can do the job on the metal like the doorhandle and so... the problem is to take off the old chrome..

But I think I´ll try to ask them...

I only want to use original part........

Cheers

Thanks my friend...

I will try and contact them.. Do you know if they got an email???..

Cheers...

I cannot find a email, they are a very small family business.
I was asking my friend who restores Jukeboxes for a living and he says he uses this company that are based in Hull ,North Yorks, They have a webb page with photos of what they have chromed, He says they are the best ! So you could contact them and send photo of the door handles and they would give you a answer, Easier than talking over a phone.
Webb page

Good luck with the door handles

I´ll try that,, thanks mate

I have used only Derby Plating for my Lotus Elan restoration. Not cheap but excellent.

They have re plated my Mazak front and rear light with superb results, and every other bit of chrome on the car. All bits have exceeded expectations. They are the only firm I would trust and recommend without any hesitation.

I have also heard good things about Prestige but never used them.
