Your silencer should be Chrome/Nickel plated. Good chrome platers can be found in Varanasi/Benaras. I am yet to come across a Chrome plater - Industrial standard in Kolkata.

The bolts, nuts and axles should be zinc plated unless you want them to look like the silencer too - you can opt for Chrome plating them.
Sorry Swingarm, I'm getting confused as what to chrome & what to nickel, anyway, I'll google for some info. Thanks for the tip though.

This is there in my mind since day 1, so don't worry, I'll go in for new set of bolt/nuts & screws, however the only confusion that prevails is, how to identify the sizes? Unless the vehicle is stripped down & I get hold of all the old bolt & nuts, I wouldn't be able to pick them up by myself.
