Gday Neil,

There used to be a place in dennison street in Newcastle that did
chroming, a mate got all the bolt heads for one of his motorbikes
done there, dont know if they still exist, was on the corner of king
& dennison. Still havent got a jumbuck yet, but am still following
to see how they are going.... HAve a good Chrissy.
