I left you hanging again. This has got to be some sort of a record for the longest running restoration? Haha! I’ve finally organised for the larger parts to be re-blasted and the smaller parts were okay, so they will stay as is.
I trust you’ve seen how many aftermarket parts have become available since we last spoke. I think the most impressive of all is the handle grips!
I will hopefully have some paint shots to share with you in the coming weeks. Motherhood has kept me busy! I’ve also organised for a prototype acetal end cap with bearing holder to be machined to fit the original diameter tubing for the front roller. None of the current aftermarket products match the original OD and I see that as an issue. Once tested, I’ll get a batch machined for my restoration projects and because I bought about 1m of acetal rod over a year ago.
