    Hey...before I get a bad name, that's why I asked if it was reasonable!

    My gut reaction was that it seemed a little high (incidentally, I never asked for just 100pcs...that's what they quoted)

    If they came chamfered (their quote was for chamfered) *and* nickel plated (alas their quote wasn't), I'd have likely just gone with it.

    Probably better to get a quote for a larger quantity, which ought to bring the price down ...but from somewhere that can plate too.

    I guess I could always buy these & cut 'em in two ... nicely chromed too (& at 50p each retail price!)

    While my search continues, I'll grapple with honing my 'parting off' skills! (& look at DIY Nickel plating - not that expensive or onerous http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT )

    Re roller bearing - another top tip brought to you by 'CNCUK Enterprising members©' ...off to Google!

    I got my nickel kit from GLR. Were you planning to hang them individually or simply plate then in to one solid lump? IMHO a commercial plater is a much better bet and not expensive, it's a cut throat business.
