Whiped gear lever out, no nylon bush, or hardly a ball left. Fitted new gear lever, thought i was back in the 80s driving my MK1 RS2000 with close ratio box.

Lord O War Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 A mate that restores old motor cycles uses something called origiplate for chassis type painting. Much better than hammerite that I have just discovered is now **** and needs about 100 coats to stop it being see through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 not done much all week, set to on the rocker cover but as my wire wheel had all but gone i decided to use one of them flaper wheel things, bad move really, a bit to abrasive but by the time i realised it was to late as id practically re shaped it so i had no choice but to buy some silver paint, prime it and paint it .
