Don't think about the re-chroming, some places are hopeless at it, and still charge a fortune! Go for the new ones and everything will be nice and undamaged, then stick the seals and oil on e-bay and get a bit of wonga back.

I'd go with Paj...you need a good recommendation for a rechromer, and the extra £50 or so for new ones may prove to be money well spent.

I buy lots of stuff second hand and repair things but allways check the price of new first. Buy the new ones and save the other bits as spares
