Pinch Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Can I put a chrome bridge on nickel posts and/or vice versa? Aesthetics aside, I mean. Edited February 7, 2020 by Pinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I don't see why not, as long as it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I don't know, but there has to be someone here who knows about metallurgy - sometimes two different types of metal can react to each other Chrome is just a plating over some other metal, and it's pretty hard so you're probably ok, but I would seek further info first.

mihcmac Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I usually replace my chrome parts with nickel, because of the high humidity of my island environment, nickel survives longer. So its not unusual for me to have chrome threaded inserts with a nickel bridge, note that bridges normally come with threaded adjustment posts of the same finish..

Pinch Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Mm. I can exchange the unopened TOM for a nickel one for the price of a stamp if it turns out I need nickel,but I'm 99% sure it's chrome so I pulled the tigger (it will go on the original posts posts)... I'll double-check... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
