Thanks Joris,
Do you know a company here in the Netherlands who can do the chromating?

Here is a 519 splitcase transmission that I did for Peter Dunkel's original 550 Spyder while back.
I offer this chem. treatment as a service for anyone who has a splitcase transmission or a
Porsche Pre-A 2pc. case/block.
