Have you ever used the platers in Cornish Street, Petone?
not as yet, they didn't inspire me with the answer to simple questions when they started, and most of my stuff is so rare it's not easily replaceable. I am hearing good things from them, and ws in wanganui at a motorcycle dealer who restores bikes and they have switched from wanganui to them. I'm not restoring a bike at the moment cause i'm so pissed off with the shit work people do to be honest. Never asked for a price with, just a quality, and i'm also well aware you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, been restoring bikes for near 40 years
They did one little job for me, which was removing the chrome from a brass fitting. Did a good job, reasonably quick, reasonably priced. would go there again if I ever get started on the old GS1100G resto.
