I thought that I would like to maintain my Eldo with new factory
mufflers but I refused delivery because the chrome was inferior with
spots missed, etc.

The big difference will be that the rechromed stuff from a reputable shop will be "show quality", while the repro stuff will be "production quality". There IS a difference. I have both kinds of parts on my bike and although most folks don't notice, if you were to ask them to identify the higher quality chrome plating the replated stuff would win every time. Ultimately you have to make the decision to stick with good or go with great. Tom '70 (July '69) Ambassador 96% Complete, 27% Left To Go '82 V50-III Shelby Township, Michigan Tim wrote:
