Hi BB
Thanks I did think I had read somewhere about not using it!!
I will prob strip one of them as want to be as original as poss but the other I may leave and see how it looks as going to be black on green!

I have read in another post about oiling pawls what do you do just soak before fitting? As I can’t see any being retained! Is this just to stop the onset of rust? Is it worth a spray with rust reno? Also he has sprayed the inside of ratchet housing I have read that it is optional to paint but will this effect operation?

Cheers
Ollie
