I need to re-chrome my 125 front forks

My 125 project is coming along but being thwarted by the fact my forks are shagged and I can't find any decent replacements so i'm looking at having them re-chromed, how much would it cost me roughly?

Thanks
 
It's hard chroming that you need. There used to be a chap who used to advertise in mcn who did grinding and re hard chroming. Normal chrome's no good.
 
There used to be an electro-plating company near us, not sure if they do hard chroming though, I'll try and find out for ya.
 
Cheers, i might have found something but i'd appreciate that.

They don't ! hard chroming and grinding is quite specialized as it has to be ground to the right size with little tolerance because of the fork seals.
