hello everybody, i have a beautiful pale grey marmet that luckily for me is in fantastic condition but i would like to buy a pram bag to match. it is only 14 years old and i think one of the last ones to be made by marmet by mothercare. Have seen a grey silvercross bag but it didn't look the right shade of grey. all suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi,
You will find it hard to find a chromer who will do pram wheels, theres a boy in Leeds, firm named Midas Touch, done a lovely job on my 2x 18 " for a Wilson. Its an expensive job £40 each then hubs £10 each, but it will be more the bigger they are. You will need to take all the spokes out and really have new ones put back in, approx £15 a wheel or you could buy a set of 2nd hand wheels of ebay for approx £100 , classybabycarriages or pizces24caz Same person) always has good wheels for sale If you need the Balmoral/silverstream size,this would be a much cheaper option.
Hope this Helps

I bought two black brake pads for a Wilson/Silver Cross pram from a guy on Ebay. There are both white and black sets advertised just now, and I think they are cheaper than I paid. Link is: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.d......brake+pads+pram

Hi
You need to find an electro plater or chrome plater in your yellow pages or go on yel com. You can also by the scootering mag where loads advertise. It is not a cheap thing to do, you will also need to take out spokes and have them put back in and the wheels, and they will need relined, its best to use new spokes, you will also need new tyers. You could shop around for prices but ave for 24 inch is £60, 18inch £40 + the Hubs at £10 each. You will need to pay carriage as well if not local.
If you cant be bothered to do all the running around. Alisons Baby Carriages will get the lot done.
For those of you that are interested, Alison is having a pram sale in July some time, you can call her for dates on o1406 426007.

Hi
I recently bought a London baby coach pram . It was in the Jack Hampshire museum and has the name and number stamped underneath the carriage. Its a beautiful pram, on a C Chassis, but it is supposed to be navy and in some lights , one side in particular looks dark green.Everything else - hood, apron , chassis, is dark navy.I was told that this sometimes happens with paint on old prams, but I have never seen it before. Apart from the colour, the actual quality of the paintwork is fine. Can anyone tell me what I can do - I can't really afford to go to a professional pram restorer - as it is a wooden bodied pram - can I get it done by a car resprayer? Has anyone any idea of approx costs including getting the coach lines redone. I would be grateful for any ideas - is there any way I could attempt it myself or would this be a recipe for disaster?!
Thanks

Hi,I have just become a new member to this wonderful web site and I cannot believe there are so many of you restoring old prams - it's brilliant.
This message of yours that I am replying to is back from 2006 so I hope you are still restoring prams.
I was wondering what I need to do to clean up the chrome chassis of my Silver Cross Carlton pram. Just bought it and it needs a bit of work so thought I would start with what I can do at home. It is pitted. I have read wire wool - is this correct? I don't want to scratch the chassis and am worried this is what will happen. I have cleaned the wheels up with a brillo pad and they are really shiny.
Any help would be fab.
Thank you for reading.
Georgina
