top post,ive got this on the way and im gonna try your method 

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys.... I will polish it a couple more times to get it up to mirror finish then its going on the Torker

Good luck with your stem winnit... the filing off of the chrome is a pain in the arse... if you file, just make sure you keep it flat

if you hit any probs then give me a shout

I have Cetem finishing schools video on proffesional polishing techniques if anyone would like to borrow it
