Some of the crank cases have been chromed at some point
Is it just a case of giving them to a chromers and asking them to remove but not re-chrome or is there a way of removing it myself ?
I would like them to end up polished.
Thanks

Re: Chrome Removal
Hi BigZCas
I know it works for steel parts. The chromer can remove the chrome from those.
If the process can be reversed with alloy parts... I don't know. You better ask the chromer. He's an expert after all.
I know it's very hard to remove it yourself ...
Good luck
Philippe

Re: Chrome Removal
Chrome Restoration Svcs at Coventry, are going to strip the chrome off a couple of old Z13 engine cases and then mirror poilsh them for me; I dont fancy de-chroming at home, think you need concentrated Hydrochloric (Muriatic) Acid and a big container.
