When I suggested replating I assumed that the original finish on the front axle would need to be stripped. The plating company would not plate over the existing finish, but would need to take a measurement of the original size to calculate the dip time for the new finish.
The longer you leave a component in the tank the deeper the finish.

The company I work for sends all its brass components away for dull chrome plating and all steel parts for cad plating, and in some cases this involves stripping off the original coating, so I know it can be done.

New axles are £35.
I was surprised to be honest. Expected more.
Still expensive if they corrode at the first sign of fresh air though!!

check those guys out. They do one in Titane.

well pick-up your German's translator before you get there though. Cannot work out which one in the axle. Doesn't look cheap though!!

The front axle is the second item in the list "748-998 Steckachse inkl. Mutter" which is the axle plus the matching nut at Euro 539,40 or roughly £340-360 quid (depending on exchange rate).

Talking of plating, if you're interested in doing it yourself you can buy some pretty cheap kits for both CopyChrome and Anodising from http://www.speed-demon.supanet.com/ (starting at 75 quid!)

you might as well buy a bog standard one for £35 and replace it when it corrodes it'd be cheaper !!!!

Get an original one titanium nitrided, it reduces friction and resists corrosion.

BTW one of my mates works for a design/engineering firm in leicester, and has access to a multi-million pound CNC machine if you want to make a replacement, only thing to pay for is material costs. Another mate has access to a 3d laser scanner, so things could get quite interesting... was thinking of making some custom rearsets and perhaps a bottom yoke from billet aluminium
