UK, I seriously doubt that this is of any use to you, but some of the guys over here use a company in Oregon, USA, and speak very highly of them.
A single 6½" reflector in brass costs around $82. Let me know if this is of interest, and I can get contact details for you. |

Thanks UJ, interestingly that about the same amount that the firm Peter mentioned would charge, would still like to here from someone who has used them first. Dave |

Dave how bad do your reflectors look i had very dulled looking reflectors and lenses but after cleaning andpolishing them up no problem though people say you cant polish them i did that on four reflectors and all came up like new even used silicon to seal them up rather than cork thats a no no too as its supposed to turn the silver black i oiled the reflectors first so 6 months later they still look in excellent order. brentnz |
