[TR] Chroming TR4 tail lamp assembly

[john-marie at sbcglobal.net]

For anyone interested, the vendor was St. Louis Plating, 314-652-0488.  Tail lamp assemblies were $60 each, side lights, also in bad shape, were $50 each, front over riders $40 and rear $50 each.  These prices increased $10 from a year ago.  I contacted 4 vendors last year.  St. Louis Plating's prices were as good or better on most items.

>> This is a follow-up to a very old discussion on re-chroming badly pitted TR4 tail light housings.  There was interest in hearing of any vendor that would/could chrome the housings.  I recently brought mine to a local vendor (St. Louis) and picked them up today.  I am very satisfied with the results.  The housings were badly pitted, but the vendor was able to remove all but a few of the worst pits.  Thought it was worth mentioning.
