Are they anodised    oven pride if so

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

Mother's Pride, or Hovis.

Warburtons if it is tough to shift (only in "thick" though - the thin slices are not so good).

The L.A.P.D. ?

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

had it in oven pride before - it was in for a hour and  and nothing - tried nitromors = nudda thang

don't think the gasket stuff is going to work DD

it's like a chemical way it has been put on - it's thin layer of baked on stuff ?

any one know 

[hunterdubber]

Is it an alloy headset or steel

If it's alloy it could be hard anno like on Pro class III rims well hard to remove , try caustic rather than Oven pride


If it's a steel headset  it could be a type of black chrome plate ,,, in which its take it to a chromers for stripping

Failing these ,,, have you tried sanding  it not too hard 

or big chisels and angle grinding 

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

steel i think   

and i think you right mate - it's like a black chrome plate

i can stand there for hours on each piece on the polishing mop  was just hoping there would be a quicker way with some chemical stuff

I think it's stained Bendy.. Retro Rich on BW polished one up with some good results. Give him a nudge, he may be able to help mate

 the top nut is black chrome - hence way you are having problems... got one in the cellar the same.

its steel so they could not be annodised, so they used a chroming/plating system instead.
