I thought that PG Classic or somebody was making these but can't find it. Also who would you recommend to re-chrome this one if need be. Thanks Ron 8361410-IMG_0553(Large).JPG (104 downloads)

I went to the closed listing you posted and to the left it showed he had another listing with minutes left. I opened that but said it was done. I sent him a message through E-Bay, is he a member here? Ron

Mike Yes he sells just the chromed plastic piece that the soft cap fits onto but he makes it in Billet and polished. You have to put your cap onto new billet piece. Ron
