I had a go at restoring my sandcast caliper today, i stripped it degreased it sanded out any scratches then sprayed it up , the caliper and the arm are silver the pivot bracket is polished and clear coated as per original, i have to say i feel really satisfied with the results, i shall dig out my new parts and rebuild it all tomorrow

Looks really good Pete,  the parts look to be in very good condition as well with pretty much as original machined surfaces.

Yes thanks nigel, the caliper was missing from this bike or shall i say pile of sandcast parts, it has taken me a year to track down the correct tokico 1 caliper in good condition, i really want this bike to be like a new showroom bike so only the best parts will go on it
