Max made my SS wheel & engine spacers on my 500  plus the brake hub stay fitting. Very pleased with the quality.

Just got the powder coating back and I am well pleased with it. The frame looks ace compared to before and  all the other bits look great too. So engine and frame now together and can start putting bits back on.

Looks to be a nice finish Mick but it also looks very thickly applied, especially in the close up of the back end. Any problems with fitting parts yet?

The engine bolts look to be made by Middletons Mick, is that correct?

That's looking great Mick. It's must be a nice feeling to be putting the bike back together.

Coming together now, Mick. Definitely worth the effort. It must be very satisfying considering what you were presented with.

I think they did 2 coats with rubbing down but not had any problems yet. Stainless bolts are from middletons as they do the range of sizes with correct threads and heads.

I like the really shiny black on frame finish, maybe some don't feel it's original enough but something as this one, brought back from near death,  is lucky to be getting such care and attention.  :)

Nice work all round.

I recognise the bolt heads on the Middleton bolts, he does 10 metric fine bolts with the correct 14mm heads as well. Oddly enough I found my stash today hiding in a box. I got the 4 for the engine hangers, 4 for the twin calipers and the 2 for the rear suspension lower bolts. The problem being I'm fitting Mazzocchi dampers and they don't fit as they are metric coarse. Might be able to reuse some of the old Middleton bolts from the early 80s that I was forced to fit in the engine as they didn't do 14mm headed bolts back then.
