I put some shiny Allen bolts on my engine casings and I wish now I had used hex ones ... they look more original. I'll swop them at some point.

Thanks . I've found that they also offer a spray version in white which would be a good base for my blue / white gsxr paint! Recommendation is to use it over their base layer/ treatment so I'm going to give that a go when it's a little warmer.

From Scotland I would be tempted to take the Newcastle - Norway party boat and ride down from there - that would add in Norway + Denmark & possibly Sweden too!

Misc / Open / Tank painting thoughts
« on: February 16, 2024, 02:44:11 PM »
I'm slowly getting round to painting a tank for an old GSXR. It'll just be a shed/ rattle can job so nothing fancy, but I want to make as good a job as I can.

It's previously been stripped to bare metal then left outside which means it has a lot of little rust dots on it. I rubbed it down to flat and sprayed a bit of black paint on it - the dots reappeared but haven't got any worse after 14 years.

Question is - any thought on an appropriate undercoat/ treatment I could use to stop these reappearing when I spray it?
Thx!

...aside from that, it would be interesting to see how it works as it's a pretty decent price!

I watched the video. Very informative.....it reminded me why we don't let techies write user manuals.

Do this, this flashes, do this, follow all 8 steps in the manual and it works.  Wtf?  What do I connect to what?

There used to be a Lotus Twin Cam Europa Special in BoT circa 1972/3 in those JPS colours it really suited the odd rear end shape.
I still have e a toy Europa but it's blue...I think it says 'from the TV series The Man from Uncle' underneath.

It's a non-runner at present. It's all there so far as I'm aware but has a couple of broken studs ...I'm not sure if there are other issues as I haven't had it running. Head is currently off plus there is a spare head and possibly barrels. It's been sitting part dismantled in the garage for ages. I can take a few piccies if you like.

I have an old 650 engine if anyone wants to take it away and take it apart to use bits!

It's East Yorkshire for me (but currently in exile in the South)!

Where's the warm feeling of satisfaction and achievement in that! (Whereas keeping a tenner in your wallet...now there's a fine feeling,).🙂
