How about spray on chrome? I can see the in the near future this might be the only option available as the chemicals used in chrome plating become banned.

Hmmm... Intersting suggestions. Thanks for these comments.
I will keep an eye out for TRW front guards and I will investigate chrome powder coating. Not come across that before - only zinc powder coating.

How about Chrome powder-coating? Not perfect but looks OK.

When restoring my 1968 B44, I looked for Triumph TR25W and BSA WD B40 mudguards as they are very similar due to frames being basically the same. So my front guard is from a TR25W from where I removed the paint before having it chromed. The rear guard was sold to me as being for a WD B40, again painted so I did same before chroming. HTH

I had to increase the hole size in my rocker feed bolt to 1.7mm , I also inserted a 1.25mm copper wire into the oil tank discharge return to slightly restrict and increase flow to rockers and valve . Cheers

Singles / 1969 B25S chrome mudguards

I need some 1969 B25S mudguards. The old ones were chrome but were obviously rusted to some degree and they were painted (not by me). I could possibly clean and re chrome but that would be a lot of cleaning/blasting/sanding. Are there any recommendations of restoration or where to get some reasonable new mudguards. I have seen some on ebay but they would need drilling and are in India.

I think the originals were chrome. It might be possible to sand and repaint the ones I have but worth finding if I have any sensible options before going down the referb. route. .

Tried the screw extractor which didn't work.   I ended up getting the caps machined  out.   Totally epic battle.

Anyone know the overall length of the clutch pushrod, or where to find the info?
It's a five plate six spring clutch, so I'm assuming it's the same as the same year B33.
Thanks.
