my forks are all pitted, and the man at the garage wont fit new seals till i get them sorted, am i best of paying about £100 to get them re-chromed or would i tbe more worth my while to get new stanchions?

I'd get them rechromed, you get a better, tougher finish than you would buying new stanchions.

If u get em rechromed be careful where you get em done. I had my yzf forks done at a place called https://www.hardchromeplating.co.uk in Newark & they were shite. They took about 6 weeks & did a shit job of them.
The chrome on the slider was left with a ground finish rather than polished and the paint was all scuffed on the fork bottomswhere they had gripped them in a vice to strip them.
