I think your best bet is bite the bullet and spray again ,save time etc as you wouldn’t be happy with it as every time you passed the bike you will look at it first ,no touch up etc etc ,with cover better than full blast over ,££££. “ s...e happens “.....

Thankyou Bryan, one of the previous owners have knackered the slot on the adjuster which I recut with the dremmel also the thread is non serviceable , so I was looking for some tips I have previously taken the cam cover off etc (holding rockers up with elastic bands when refitting) it’s just about taken the head off in the frame also the removal of the tensioner, armed with (6 sided sockets etc ) Clymer/Haynes , As you say will replace seals while I’m there , so new guide and blade do you think .( my bride (70) says I have no patience ONLY when messing with engines , must have been an Hgv syndrome 😜, thanks again ...

Keep on top of painkillers (take before pain kicks in 3.1/2 hrs ) it will be fine, make sure you do your excersizes ,don’t give up on them and you’ll be running around like a goungun. All the best and you’ll be right for swinging your leg over for 2019..

When I restored my TR4 I painted the underside with a rust preventive primer then a rubberised under seal flattened then a polyethylene topcoat ,.. as the harder the paint ie two pack paint will chip. With poly paint being more flexible the stone wii bounce off without chipping..

Yes Ash, it had three previous owners all in an around York its where i acquired it in 2013 , it had been semi restored in the 90s and then stored in a shed, i rebuilt the wheels new DID rims ss/s spokes, recovered the outer cover on seat, foam was in really good nick , checked out the motor (someone had thrown a fair bit of wedge at it), carb /tank was in a bit of a state (tank) a week full of coca cola with hand full of chippings, flushed out after week , refilled with vinegar for another week .. result brilliant., it had previously been sprayed in celli, so i had the tank done in 2pack in case of petrol spillage , really good match (fiat 152).. fitted a new old stock speedo £££ (not Chinese).. And now the neutral ind light works, happy bunny, thanks for the info Hairy..
