Te Puke Barrel replating

[diesel pig]

Has anyone got this Electrosil plating done through Te Puke Farm & trail ?
and are you happy with the plating and the price?

[Motu]

I thought they were just an agent for that Aussie crowd? Be good if someone here started doing it....but Te Puke? All the brains in NZ are in Auckland surely?

he wasn't asking about resleeving though was he, he wants to know about replating.

whoops, Right!

Ok I've not heard alot of good reports with replating. There is a crowd in Oz that do most of it as far as I know......

they use l m electraplating is Aussie (victoria) we use them as well, they do a job that is as good if not better than genuine, we have had over 20 barryls done from 85cc to 500 and never had a problem, way better option than sleeving as we have had troubles with cold seizures with sleeved barryls, i can give you their details if you want to deal direct, only real drawback is time off the bike, it is about a month turnaround by the time you send it, they fix it and then send it back

So what have you blown up now?

I'd be interested in this deal. It anything like nicasil plating or it indeed the same thing? I've got an NSR barrel that needs some work, if I can't get a new one that is.

And Te Puke is the shiznit. Denny Hulme's buried just up the road there even. I'm born and bred and just moved back here, can't stand that Auckland deal no longer! And the job fell in.

Denny Hulme's buried just up the road there even. .

That's OK then...in that recent TV show,I'd have put Denny on top of the list...the Bear was our greatest sportsman.

how much though to do a cyclinder?

They will just send it to Aussie Electrosil (adds in Aussie dirtbike or just google). I used another aussie one but had an issue.

I have used US Chrome with good results, not too expensive. Just posted it there. If you Post with courier option they go through fast & customs tack on a quick charge, normal airpost.

You must write something like ‘2nd hand engine parts for repair or recondition’ or they will charge you gst maybe both directions.

His Husqvarna, he's bloody hard on gear

[F5 Dave]

US chrome is like (maybe year old sheet) $165US for simple job & up to $219US if weld repair required first. Have to strip out powervalves etc.

These guys are probably top of the replating tree tech wise. They are the only ones who do steel bore plating as well. Well the only ones that make it work. They do all the Nascar engines, but bikes are bread & butter.

Cheers fellas for all the info. Yes it is my Husqvarna eyetie piece of rubbish
scott411 thats the feedback I want to hear and time off the bike is not a issue as the bike has shit it self. I found Electrosil's site last night so if I go with them I will deal direct. F5 this US chrome scounds interesting I will google for them tonight.
