Any company selling new chrome tubes?

Have a friend restoring a slabby and his chrome tubes are trashed. 

Closer to Canada the better

How do you put new stanchions on the usd forks ,  as they have cast ally feet the axle mounts to

Heat the alloy bottom to break the threadlock. Unscrew the small grub screw then unscrew the stanchion from the fork bottom. Easier said than done but that is how you do it.

USD stanchions can be a rite bitch to remove,  the grub screw normally seizes in but if you get that out unscrewing the stanchion is really tight. i did one of my legs a few months ago, will not do it again unless i have all the right gear, much easier getting a shop to do it.

I paid the place I bought my stanchions from to do it last time, a whopping £5 a leg. Wasn't even worth trying to do it myself in my (lazy) opinion.
