Now I'm in a real quandry. My plating shop insists on deriveting the
assemblies, stating that the stainless portions won't hold chrome and it will
peel and flake off making quite a mess, and also stated that the chromed areas
up against the stainless pieces will likely not set properly and will not be
able to be polished out properly.
Meanwhile 7 people replied to my inquiry today, 5 of them stating that left
together they had no problems with the plating.
I have left them with the plater who will be drilling out all the rivets,
and Bob Yule states that it's difficult to rerivet but it can be done and he
has all the rivets in stock. So I'm going to go that route and see what
happens. Hey Bob, want a riveting job??

Hello all,
I have a complete set of BJ8 windscreen frame parts that require
rechroming. I
was able to get everything apart, but am extremely reluctant to drill out
and
remove the rivets that fasten the left and right posts to their stainless
steel mounting stanchions.
Has anybody done this successfully, found identical rivets and
reassembled
after chroming?
I would prefer to leave these assemblies intact if a chroming shop can
work
around them. Any voices of experience out there?
