Lingloopy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Been trawling ebay for months to find some replacements for the Mrs' Lupo after a harsh winter sat out side has caused some bad corrosion to her pointy parts! Anyone know where i can get them or similar? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dubmesiter have them, in the compomotive section. Not sure they'd fit your Castalets though.And they're £20 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vworks41 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Why don't you just re polish them? be alot cheaper!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingloopy Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 they're thin, chrome plated aluminium and the ali has oxidised and bubbled away the chrome plating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzie Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Get rid of the chrome plating, then mirror the polish the aluminium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Soak them in Cillit bang (I kid you not) for about a day & it should lift the chrome off (it will ever so slightly eat into the alloy where its flaked & work underneath the chrome layering) you can then polish the alloy with a drill mop.
