As above for the key.
Wheels
Chroming -I used quality chrome in hull for all my chrome, even exhausts.
Spokes - Z power. Greens of beccles for lacing.
Polishing I use Phil Pearson in Belton.

Key number is on the face of the cylinder. Here's some pics of how I removed one on an H2B project a few years ago. If you know the key number pm me and I can sort you a key. If you don't have the number let me know and I can sort it if you send me the yoke with the lock in. The final pic shows all that comes out, the cylinder doesn't come out of the barrel, well at least not for this purpose.
N.B. This is a PATIENT DELICATE JOB, if you hurry or use force you WILL snap the key in the cylinder

This barrel was seized solid into the bottom yoke and the cylinder was seized in the barrel so to get it out had to be a two stage process.
I freed off the cylinder after a couple of days of WD40 and then a little heat.
Then I went to work on the barrel which put up a lot more of a fight, but came out in the end and refurbished nicely.
