:lol: i dont fancy stripping them and cant figure out how they come apart - i know a sole trader sells them at the shows, just as a hobby or sideline i assume, didnt know if anyone had dealt with such before.

spose ill have to get some sapre catches and just get violent with em :twisted:

No need to strip the latches - the company the did Bretts just degreased them in a bath of degreaser and then chromed the complete latch - no problems with them sticking etc - just sprayed them with lube and put them on !!

what about the plastic / nylon bits inside?

i understand chroming is a form of electroplating or whathaveyou - did it at college back in the day

if its that easy........... :twisted: :D

went to scrappy previously - and removed every nut and bolt from engine bay and bracket etc to such a degree the car was falling to pieces in front of me :lol:

methinks its time to go again and get the bits and pieces i missed last time round :lol:

dont ever get the engine dress up / body dress up chroming bug.

:o :lol:
