I am in the process of assembling my freshly painted Healey. Back in 2015 I had everything re-chromed (I thought). Today I was planning to put the front fenders on the car and remembered that I have to install the rechromed fender spears first. </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Well, time has a way of erasing things that you needed to remember. I now do remember that in the process of removing the chrome spear on the drivers side, the studs snapped. So apparently back then, I sent everything out to the plater, with the exception of the spears. I’ve now remembered and realized that I had purchased a reproduction spear from Moss for the drivers side (and I guess I intended to just re-chrome the original for the passenger side, but never ddid). So today I put the repro on, and was extremely disappointed with the quality. It has many ripples. Also I now find I have nothing for the passenger side. Car assembly is now on hold. Phooey!</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Two questions:</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">1<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Does anyone have a set of re-chromed originals that they would be wiling to sell?</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">2<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Are there any sources for high quality reproduction spears?</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Thanks for “listening”.</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Dave</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">64 BJ8</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">72 XJ6</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Thanks all on the responses to my question on the 3M trim adhesive.
