Dear Wilks, Many thanks for the information on chromium plating. We have done a certain amount of single cylinder running on chromium plate here, and attached is a copy of the conclusions so far reached. Do you think your piston seizure was in any way due to the chromium plating becoming detached ? Yours sincerely, | ||
