Make sure they don't put too much new material on as it adds thickness- Parts may not fit then

Years ago I had a 1725 Sunbeam Alpine, It had a single Stromberg carb as standard, My brother sold a pair of Webber 40 carbs to a lad with a Sunbeam Rapier so I bought his twin Strombergs from him, I had them steam/pressure washed then stripped them and had the dashpot covers and float chamber chromed, I had to use a wooden dowel with emery cloth wrapped around to open the orifice up where the jet goes through as I couldn't get the jet to centre without removing the chrome!!

This is a contradictory issue... not enough material and it will wear through... too much and you would be worried about this.

I believe the case on this particular watch screws together and it shouldn't be an issue (particularly if they mask off the inside edges.)

I am still not sure the back should be done, it will weaken the engraving and make it look dodgy.

Somewere I have a kit for gold plating, It's some kind of liquid that the polished item is placed in, It has to be non ferrous metal as it won't take to steel/iron directly, I've not seen it in ages though, My mum gave it to me, She tried it and the longer the item is left immersed, The darker it becomes!!

Can't remember for the life of me what it's called or where I put it!! :huh:
