Forgot to ask……

When it was taken off the bike like in the 400, there was a black paint type coating on the inside, presumably as a barrier so sparks don’t jump.,……maybe??

Anyway, do I need to replace as it was removed during the chrome g process?

If so, wot wiv, like?

Glue a small circular piece of rubber on there instead Roo. Will stop ringing as well, bit like sound deadening. Ohh use sound deadening for cars.

Cap, yeah unlike the 500 that looks crimped in. No rubber seal?

Yes, it was knackered so I bought a new one to fit as thats an orderable part. It’ll go on come  re fit

Bit of 1977, motorcycle rear wheel inner tube it is then. I think I’ve got some left from making the hinges for the bay boxes I make up lurking under a bench, that sounds just the job. Cheers pal
