Just when I think I'm home free...
I had the BE grab handle re-chromed, and the plating left a thickened area on the end of the 1/4-28 threads- can't get the nut on.
I tried a cheap die but it wouldn't start on the thread.
I've read that hydrochloric/muriatic acid will remove chrome, but the area is coated pretty thick. Does anyone have a better "solution"? A wire brush wheel didn't touch it.
Thanks,
Michael
