Greetings Rohan,

Maybe Ace Doug can answer that one, he most likey has nos
castings, I have never seen any traces of nickel on original
pieces. The color of the cast iron looks to me as if to have
a hint of brown to it and seems a touch different than Hen
cylinders, I know when I have welded and sleeved them I had
to mix rods to get a color match that were different than
Hen stuff. 
Was there any other finish applied?

Rob


Anyone have any solid evidence that Ace cylinders were ever
nickel plated ??  A dull grey is all that has been sighted
in this part of the world....

TTFN ??
