Hi Gavinm, and congrats on a great restoration. What a fantastic tribute in your Dad's name...Well done mate!
Re: the 18 Special handle bar badge...you will often see very good reproductions on eBay (as has been mentioned here, just be careful you are not paying the price for a mint genuine one ;))
Also on ebay you will see reproduction fuel tank stickers; one of these would look great on your tank and finish it off nicely...Here's a pic; [Linked Image]
Unfortunately, I have not seen inside the large choke/air filter on this model...so I cannot help you there...Perhaps one of the Victa gurus here will jump in and throw some light on it for you. wink
Once again Gavin, good1
cheers2
