Does anyone know where I can buy the chrome cover that fits over the rear engine mounting brackets on an A10 swing arm. I have tried mme restorations but they have no stock left. Any suggestions would be good.

If you mean the 'ski slope', I don't think they are normally chrome. I have black ones in stock.

Hi.
Supreme Motorcycle's in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire list a chrome version, but I think the std finish was black
1960 Super Rocket, owned since 1966, back on the road 2012 after being laid up for 29yrs.

The A7 had a chrome one when I bought it in 1976, so wanted one after rebuild as restorer fitted a black one. I bought three the first two returned as they were rusting around the holes and or the edges. Sorry can not recall where I got the good one. So I suggest you see one before you buy it.

They were Black from new, when delivered from Small Heaths.

Chrome was popular in mod. in the 60ties and on.

I have stainless and chrome on my BSA´s.
Same with engine brackets. Mine are chrome plated as well.

I received my ski-slope chrome bracket from Supreme motorcycles. The chrome was more like brushed aluminium and rusty down the joints. I returned it and received a full refund. So I am on the lookout for a black second hand one so I will have it chromed properly. Anyone got one for sale?
