Dave ... I know the Haro plate is defo not for sale. It was Leary's race plate at the Kelloggs Championships 



The ears were originally modified to fit around his levers and what remained has since broken off and gone missing

Museum tackle ! 

[AtariAger]

I've started on one of mine...and I have to say the results are beautiful!!!

Steve, how did your friend go about removing the black chrome in spots where it is still thick and unfaded?  ie. I had a decal on my seat tube and the black chrome is still perfect underneath...can you explain his method and what to watch out for?

Thanks very much...

Also...I am trying as best I can to not disturb the original decals as I polish it...hope I can do it without lifting them off.

Tom

Use Autosol or a decent rubbing compound to polish out the unfaded finish that remains under the original decals. As you polish you'll notice the finish gets lighter in colour ... keep going until you break through to the chrome

To get the perfect finish you'll have to remove the original decals I'm afraid ... especially the downtube rub-ons

Hope this helps
