<DIV>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. </DIV>

<DIV>In addition to a name, the price might also be useful as the cost of
plating seems to vary quite a bit across the U.S. Something as small as
taillamp housing could be shipped if the quality and price warranted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The local shop I used did a fine job on mine - I would have called them
'pitted' but not 'badly pitted' - but it was so long ago that their price
would be way out of date.</DIV>

List,<BR>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.<BR>John DeLuca<BR>TR4A in
