Hi folks.
I have the correct locking door handle for the left side of my Longbridge
BN4. Not surprisingly it has a number of small circular 'pit' marks through
the chrome and into the underlying base metal.  The handle and body appear
to be made of 'pot' or 'monkey' metal which I believe is unsuitable for
brazing (low melting point?).

Does anyone have a method for restoring the surface of the metal before it
is re-chromed?

If you guys haven't worked out a method I guess it can't be done ;^{

Cheers..........AlanB
