I’d invest in a thread gauge to determine the pitch of threads (you will possibly find 10mm bolts in 1.00,1.25,1.5 pitches) then just buy the taps/dies you need and buy quality not cheap tat from China😁 I look for them at Autojumbles but make sure they’re not chipped/blunt had most of mine for years Dormer,Presto,SKF good makes and as stated look for HSS.

I gently levered mine off my F1 tank they are held in place with a “ retaining clip” part number 87311-634-600 David Silvers have no stock but available on Fleabay at silly cost,guy that painted my tank used a strong double sided tape to put mine back on

Not happy with the buckles,they’re new ones very sharp edges on them which I filed but look bit cheap/nasty.£480 for paint included doing badges and striping,bought some decals from Diego but he didn’t use them.Anyone want some decals,cheap😁
Looks Great!! a question what decals bought from me?? I dont remember….  
I bought a set of decals for the tank from you Diego plus a set of warning decals,my painter didn’t use the decals he painted the lines on,nothing wrong with the decals you supplied they are good quality👍

Codes I gave him I sourced from an American site were of no use as likely just part numbers I don’t think Honda gave codes in the seventies? He had the original tank to get a color match and I went with a stronger metal flake than original side panels he matched to originals

Looks nice with side panels painted in that colour.Yes I reckon price I paid excellent,I guess solid paint would have cost more?

Thankyou👍 I did consider having it painted candy sapphire blue but think orange looks better.Will get the alloy wheels refurbed that I picked up from Keith on here and keep the Delkevic on it instead of the original 4-1 which is in good condition but so heavy.I haven’t tried fitting the chrome trim on the cowl yet Julie but fingers crossed it’ll do the job.

Picked my tank/panels/seat cowl up from painter today,very pleased with the work done had seat recovered too.Paint is a metal flake and possibly a bit “blingier” than it should be but that’s how I want it [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to let me borrow the tools needed to remove the wheel bearings in a pair of alloy wheels I’m going to use on my 1975 750F. Would leave a cash deposit till returned to you.I live near Northampton but would travel to collect/return the tools.Thanks in advance😁
