Chrome plating

[NickIrons]

Hi all, I'm new on here so please excuse my ignorance!!!
I'm in the middle of a M/Cycle rebuild and a lot of the
parts are no longer available so I've started to do a lot
of zinc plating myself, only to stop rusting and not for
any aesthetic reasons, with reasonable results. I also
have a swinging arm (I beleive it's called rear forks in
the US) that I found on eBay. It's made of mild steel
and is chromed, but in certain areas, it is corroded to
an extent that I can't polish it out, so it will need to be
stripped bare and re-plated. I have always been under
the impression that the chrome plating process produces
copious amounts of cyanide gas and therefore not practical
for the home enthusiast/DIY. Is this correct? As I have
contacted professional companies to strip and re-plate,
but the money they are asking is more than the M/Cycle
is worth!!
Here's a pic of the object in question....
Many thanks, Nick.

No, not at all. There is no cyanide in chrome, or any of the other plating processes we sell.

Thanks for the advice, would you be able to give me a link to
the chrome and zinc plating kits you sell as I am very interested
in purchasing both as I've scoured the net and most advice I
have recieved points to Caswell.
Many thanks.
