Ok,
So after about 24 hours in the O/A bath, and a bit of chrome polish and some Rub n Buff, this is what I came up with.
It probably doesn’t look too bad in pictures, but in person, it has the surface of 60 grit sandpaper.
So, unfortunately, as close as this one is, it’s still no cigar.
I’m not sure what the next step is, as I really don’t want to replate it.
It’s probably not a very good candidate for rechroming anyway.
So, I’ll just hang on to it for now until something better comes along.
But, please keep me in mind, if you ever come across one of these old chrome, 37/38 CWC chainguards.
Thanks!
I’m going to leave this thread open, even though most of what I’ve been looking for, has been acquired.
I’ll always be interested in upgrading the original chrome parts for this bike.
So if you have a bike with super nice original chrome parts on it, that you would like to sell, or are thinking about parting out?
Let me know!
I’m definitely interested.
Thanks, for all the help thus far.
I really appreciate it!
