I'm planning on using Burt's suggestion for shaped steel bellcranks to match the two I already have. I want to have them plated once I've bent and drilled everything. As far as I can tell, there are no platers here in town.
Do any of y'all have a preferred shop?
Thanks!

Check with people who build street rods or classic cars .
Has anyone seen the powdercoat chrome. I have not seen it but it may be worth checking out. I had a guy say it looked pretty good and it is a small enough setup for a at home guy to get into.

The reflective chrome looks pretty good in the picture. If you click on the picture of the engine parts it enlarges it.
A trip to a local rod run may have a guy that does it at home and they normaly have some samples.

Scott -- I do a lot of electrical work for a local powdercoater and he does work for me gratis.
Unfortunately that chrome powdercoat doesn't look much like chrome. Sure as hell looks good in the ads, though!!!

Re: Plating Vendors?
That is about what I thought and why I suggested to look at a sample . I know the spray can chrome is terrible but we still sell it at work . Hit a rod run some Saturday . Some body will know of someone .
