Hi
another question. The frame ID plate, what does everyone do with it when restoring the frame. Remove it before working on the frame or protect it? It looks like a couple of rivets hold it on.

Hi
took the forks off today. They are corroded at the top but pretty good behind the fork rubbers. See picture.
I cant get the head stock off at all, i dont want to use any brute force yet (got the pus gas out on the head stock). Why dont they just fall out or do you think they are corroded in. they move freely enough though.

I assumed it was original (never assume)
this is what I've taken off the bike. Last MOT'd 1997. If its not the correct one then i'll just get an after market one

Hi again,
just stripped the engine bars on the bike. Are they worth keeping, restoring and re installing?

Hi,
still stripping the bike. I've taken the horn off, tested and it works. Worth keeping but de rusting and painting or buy a replacement. Are they scarce?

Hi
last job on my swing arm, the removal of the bushes. I believe they are tapered, do they come out away from the bike or do they come out in the inside of the swing arm?

I'm interested in this post. I'm still stripping the bike down, just the engine, wiring loom and the forks to go. I've not decided on to powder coat or paint yet. Clear frames are nice, take a look at the bikes CCM make http://www.ccm-motorcycles.com/bikes/spitfire-scrambler/

will take a look at the website
if I was to get one machined, is it ordinary steel? do I get a stainless one made? what tolerance on the bushes? out of solid bar? is the wall thickness critical?
