Thanks Steven400/4,
The work it's self was easy enough, Just fiddly, The brake cap was stripped /sanded back, primed and top coated and then a sticker applied which was lacquered over.
The Regulator was a little more problematic, I wanted to re plate the finish on the brite metal work but I didn't think the electrics would take kindly to dipping in a zinc plating tank, so I cut them back to bare metal with a scotch brite dollie, the removeable bottom setion was stripped in a acid salts pickling solution and to stop them rusting , I coated with lacquer. The black cover was dipped in vinegar to remove the rust and then sanded back to bare metal with the scotch brite dolly, primed and glossed over.
The little screws and washers were re plated. I had to re use the "green,black & white Sticker". For the rubber parts I have found that silicon grease brings these small rubber parts back to almost like new...... used this grease (sparingly) on the rubber Seats/ gaskets between the chrome base and the speedo / rev counter and was well pleased with the result.
COLIN.
