as you can tell https://www.flickr.com/photos/62957688@N08/41496729582/in/album-72157665897360077/ these are completely shot. i believe they were shiny chrome balls when they were new with the unfortunate jap design, these are not replacable like the landrover type the only fixes i have seen on the net is to use some steel epoxy to rebuild the surface has anyone tried? |

You should learn to use image tabs to save us from opening everything via a link. They’re fine. Sand smooth and rebuild. |

On terribly pitted one's I've used JB weld, then sand them smooth. Works well. Yours don't look too bad (from the pic anyways). As Mr. G says, looks like just sand smooth and rebuild. I have seen others use an epoxy paint to achieve a smooth surface. I don't know what the longevity of that method is. |

They were never chrome, they were just painted. Lots of 40 series landcruiser guys do as Lebowski says, steel epoxy to fill in any pitting and then a coat of a hard paint like POR15 or KBS rust seal. |
