Back in the 90's when I last owned a TS1 barrel, I had it replated at a go cart firm. Summing up I could just as well have bought a new barrel... Well, Sweden in 1994. Luv your channel, might as well buy a Lambretta again. Hehe..
We've got two companies that do cylinder repair and replating, too, but they're both in my home state of Wisconsin, more than 2,000 miles away. Both companies charge almost twice what you've just paid to have your cylinder done!
Different people have different opinions on where to replate in the UK? Have you run the cylinder for some time and checked the condition? Helpful video explaining the process . Thanks
@@samiismail8690 very true, everyone has their favourite. The engine has done a fair bit of time on the Dyno and when stripped the plating is as new. 👍😀
A good few years ago , one the scooter mags had a wee review of replating and if memory serves me ? This company was replating the same cylinders over and over for a reason, and that was because they thought the coating was sub- par! If memory also serves: a certain Uk Scooter tuner and parts manufacturer decided to go with another company/coating for their barrels! (MB?) I could be mis- remembering this , but it was definitely a UK replating company! I remember seeing small pin- like holes in the coating and the company replied " a two-stroke barrel is full of holes, so this is not a problem" !
@@Shedtune_Russ just reading up on there website always handy companies like this.Looking at it you can tell they have taken a lot of care doing the replating of the barrel.Look forward to hearing how the barrel gets on once fitted.Cheers for posting 👍👍
It’s the same playing that the TS1 kit comes with so in theory it should last 10000+ miles if it don’t get damaged. The tuning was extra money on top of the plating

@@leeclift4666 next weeks video shows it being fitted. 😃
Cheers Russ interesting to know price comparison of replating, compared to a new barrel
Yeh I didn’t want to throw away a TS1 barrel especially when u can’t get them at the moment
The trouble is you can not get NEW TS1's at the moment. On the AF webite a NEW TS1 kit is £686 inc head
Very good 👍
Cheers 🍻
Very nice!
Cheers 🍻
Looks mint 👍
It is Andy 👍
Had my TS1 done at PJME iron lined excellent quality and the option to rebore,just another alternative?
Good idea 👍
How long does the plating last for Russ?did the price include the tuning you had done?
