Just rechrome a regular set. They come out mint.
no chrome in Hawaii ! EPA shut them all down !
Get then done in the states and ship to you
I rechromed my originals.
Subject- chrome plating. I'm sure you will get a lot of helpful advice and opinions here when you are ready. For me in California, and after years of trial and error (mostly error), I will not use any plater in this state. I use Paul's Plating in Pennsylvania. Always good work, all chrome on the car will match, but expensive. The covers cost me $800, but they removed all bracketry including the baffles, straightened the sheet metal and then chromed. They turned out better than I had anticipated. I would have been happy with something less but they look great. I am sure anyone visiting this website has stories to tell, good luck to all. By the way, here is my motor, I'm just a little ahead of you. My motor has been dyno'd and is being detailed and about ready for those chrome v/covers.
WOW. $800 That seems a bit steep . I guess you get what you pay for, and they look great ! But Damn , $800 ? Not sure I want to spend that, Not even half that on V/C's. I just don't have that kind of money.
Hi Murray.
Do you recall if the passenger side mount has a sleeve the slides the Mount before the bolt goes in? ( factory 1968 383S) the mount hole is much larger then the bolt.
Thanks
If I recall correctly, that hole is somewhat larger than the bolt. I assumed that was to allow some flexibility on install. Make sure that bolt has a flat washer on it to capture the mount. Good luck. Update- car now runs, you're next.
