Rechrome 2nd Stage internal parts

[johnnywulff]

It's possible to rechrome internals parts of a 2nd stage regulator, I mean the inlet, orifice and ajustment knot, any experience how will work afterwards, breathing performance ?

Thanks in advance for comments.

should perform just as well as it did before, just have to make sure the threads don't get too much chrome or they will chew themselves when you are screwing them back in. @OWIC647 had a lot of experience rechroming regulators though sadly the guy he worked with in the US has stopped plating

Yep, I think the housing metal orifice can't get as sharp.....

is this a reg that no longer has parts available? if there are parts available, buying new parts might be cheaper than rechroming the old ones
