I need some help. My 1949 MGTC radiator shell is in pretty rough shape. It needs some lead work in places that are very thin and then I can get it re-chromed. Anyone out there know of someone who does this work? ThanksOn 18 Sep 2019, at 22:42, Robert Lines lines4904@verizon.net [mg-tabc] mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Hi Robert, Could you confirm to the group which Country you are in so local suppliers can be suggested. Not sure that lead on a brass shell is correct. My TB shell was dented and thin from previous rechroming. Derby Plating in the UK removed the dents and copper plated it to build up thickness before chroming. They did a great job.
