Hi Roo.If the kitchen junk draw fix doesn't work, I have a complete #3 body. It's not as blingy as yours though but you could sort that out.

Those carbs are coming on a treat Roo.You must be younger than me to have two builds on the go!There are lots of aquarium fittings on e-bay with some choice in diameters as well.
There is a theory the spindle were hard chromed but seeing how they rust etc it's not looking likely. My experience of hard chrome is that it's virtually indestructible, had my fork stanchions done years ago now and they are totally unmarked after many thousands of miles. I had mine hard chromed, cost me £22.50. Maybe Philpotts could help out. Mine was done at Dynasurf in Sandbach. Normal bright chrome isn't recommended, I suspect it wouldn't fit afterwards, even my hard chromed one was a tight fit. Plus I'd imagine it would rust pretty quick.
Have you tried evaporust on the shaft?Not sure if the rust is where it is visible but it will look better after a couple of days in soak.
