Norm, good call, I am aware of this and fully agree. In this case it is the intent to mothball Eric and use the Jetfast + Masport for practice- stripping, painting, etc. before I stuff up something unique. If they look nice if not exactly as they were, well and good enough.

In fact I may just leave Eric with his current patina as it's actually in a relatively good condition considering. Certainly Eric will be left alone (except for engine dismantle) until I feel I can do properly.

In the meantime been unable to pick up due to other issues this morning and more due today. I hope the rain due in Canberra doesn't get to them and I can this afternoon. What is it with people stripping caps and plugs? I can only assume they were dropped off by a dealer as not economically repairable.

We'll see. It may not happen/they may be gone, who knows.
