Why not just send the original casters out to be nickeled?

Have to replace some old casters (Steinway 1920s) with new ones.  Request is
for nickel plated.  Does anyone have experience with the nickel plated
casters from Steinway and how they fit in these 1920's sockets, how much
retrofitting needs to be done etc.  The other option is to buy brass ones
from the supply house which I know can be fitted with minimal chiseling and
plate them but prefer not to have to go through the plating procedure if
possible.  Have not had the experience of fitting current Steinway nickel
casters in old Steinway leg sockets and the piano, of course, is not in my
shop.  

Anyone with a similar experience?
