Title: Anyone Rechromed RD350/400 Signal
Post by: KANDY on November 27, 2025, 02:20:40 PM
Hi All,

The Signal lights on my RD350 is pitted in some area. Did anyone Re-Chromed this.

What is the best option to keep it all Original

It feels heavy for its size, is it Aluminium Die cast or anyone know which material it is.

Regards

Thanks Mark,

Message from my Plating Guy below

" Definitely diecast. Replace it or paint it or be prepared to pay a lot to have it replated"

i think these are replacement radjoot ones, but have metal bodies.  i hate plastic reproductions of these so this may be an option.

well my thought is gut it and retrofit better guts.  if you still have em all you really want is the housing,  right?
