Contact Ross at Dragon, I know some one that had one of his Upper manifolds and Alt fitted and they look well.

If you have the time you could do it by Hand???

Failing that i have had stuff polished by Manchester Plating (i think thats what its called) i\'ll have to look up the number but if you have a Chrome Platers near by they will do it for you.

What kit is that mate and how long did it take you to do the bits you did? was it ticky to do or just time consuming??
