Congrats on the fix! Thanks for the warning about disassembling before sending to be chromed.
I learned another lesson about chroming last year. If there is any screw,nut or various fastener that you want to keep, take it off before sending out to be chromed. I have a habit of taking something apart and then replacing the fasteners from whence they came so that I know what I need to buy and where it belongs.
I found out the hard way that if you leave "semi-loose" hardware on a peice to be chromed, it will be removed and trashed. That really sucks when you haven't taken a picture or commited the peice to memory.

Never understood why people chrome the crank handles. I don't think they were originally, were they?
I like to keep the look original as possible.

Once you go chrome you can never go back.
Love the shine!  '>

Your alias isn't "chromedong" is it?

I believe they were, but it was not the quality we know today.
The split doors on the VMC27's and VMC33's were not chromed, but a flat grey.

I think all those aluminum handles were highly polished.
A polished handle looks real close to chrome but becomes
tarnished and dull within months.

Glens right. The 27's and 33's are polished aluminum. You clean spray a clearcoat on after polishing to protect it from tarnishing.

Makes much more sense - I'm gonna polish one up. Never tried before!
Thanks Glen!  '>
