    Easiest is a tumbler with walnut shell and additive, run for 24+ hours

    Quoted from AlexF:

    Are these plated? I'm working on my Pleasure Isle. After running them in my vibrating tumbler for a couple days they look marginally better. Was thinking of hand polishing but fearful of getting too aggressive if lifting/chipping the plating is a concern.

    yea, pot metal then chrome plated, similar to the 60's endcaps. Could replate but hate to guess what it would cost. You got a buffing wheel?

    The correct replacement part is called an escutcheon pin. I know PBR had some at one time, but not sure if he still has them.

    Ive got some if you need...
