Anyone know who recoats the insides of rotor housings, I have done a search but no luck, been asked to find out for a friend, thanks Ade :Thumbs-up

No-one that I\'ve been able to find either. Pineapple racing mention that there\'s a place in the states that does it, but they didn\'t seem to think it was very satisfactory. It\'s a pain, I know - new ones are damn expensive!

There was a company on rx7club that was able to do it but it basically cost as much as a new housing. There are a few companies that sell 2nd hand stuff but why scrimp on housings if they last 5 mins afterwards.

New housings have been ordered, the friend of mine in question who asked me to enquire about re chroming has found a guy in canada who does them using cnc equipment, but like you said Shaun might as well get new ones, thanks for the replies guys, much apreciated :cheers

I know that Wicked Wheels in Guildford can chrome wheels, might be worth having a call to them to see if you can get the contact and ask about chroming this instead of wheels?!!?

let me know how much they quote as asked about getting my wheels split and face re-chromed he told me it would be about Â£150-200 per wheel but that was off the top of his head at a car show recently...

JHB performance in Canada recoat them with a ceramic coating,which is useless,it comes off,and are far from factory tolerances once done.Good money making exercise for them though.
