Idiot lights





Bit of a bake for the enamel paint to harden
Jems in
Plate on and looking good

Master the cylinder

Manky faded and leaking

Home made tool to hold piston down
Out comes the cir clip
My home made piston holder and all the old bits 
After a through clean and dry spray with Black satin and cook at 125 for 1 hour 
I think after a good cooking it has come out nice
Looks a lot more Matt finish in real life
Will weather in great

Clean shaft out with 2000 paper

New and old side by side

All done ready to bolt on

Clocks

Little bit of persuasion and booom 
44K that's an average of 1100 miles a year 


Off with the nasty paint

that's better
Acid etch primer
sand out the dam run then coat two
