who are the best to go to for a cylinder replate? iv used a few different firms in the past but i have always had trouble with them. any one recommended someone decent
I had two F3 barrels plated by them and they are still going strong with no signs of real wear, That was almost 16 months ago. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
Just send them the new piston and what piston to bore clearance you want to run and they will do the rest. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
I think there are really only a couple of engineering firms in the UK that actually do the plating. Langcourt Engineering in Weston-super-Mare http://www.langcourt.com/cylinder_repairs_&_replating.htm seems to be the place that a lot of bike shops send them to. I've sent cylinders there directly in the past - no real cost advantage, but it can speed up the turnaround a bit - unless you use BDK or somewhere where they often keep exchange cylinders on the shelf (assuming yours are stock).
The important thing really is to remove all the studs etc and just generally prepare them and pack them well to avoid any hassles/additional service charges. Never had any problems at all with re-plating whether I've sent 'em directly or through an agent/shop.
