[TR] Stainless steel - or The Gospel according to St. Glenn of Merrill

[John Macartney <johnbmacartney@gmx.com>]

Well, if you didnâ??t know about stainless and plating, my good friend Glenn 
has (hopefully) clarified or further confused those with enquiring minds.

For me, Iâ??ve never been aware of stainless lookalike front or rear bumpers. 
Itâ??s a long time ago since I rebuilt my now long gone and much missed big 
Triumph saloon, but when it came to replacing the front and rear ends, I handed 
the job to an old friend Iâ??d made at Jaguar in the sixties. He had his own 
plating company (now sold and made him a millionaire) and he did my bumpers as 
per spec at Jaguar - viz copper, nickel, copper, chrome - and it wasnâ??t just 
â??flashedâ?? on. Done proper, â??twas. Cost me a fortune but when they were 
fitted, that car looked the â??dogs bollocksâ??.  Quality always shows in the 
end.
