Sorry for delay Erny, cost for all 3 parts sent to Slovakia is £20 inc P&P.

You should still have my PayPal address if that's acceptable.

Still have your address.

And after that picture was taken BP came along and started drilling as they thought with that much oil on the surface there must be a big oil field underneath it 

LMAO, no I doubt that would work James. I'll go up to £45 James, am I in the ballpark yet?

I bet that little tag on the mudguard say For Sale, £30 ONO.

Nothing wrong with that Gary, just needs a rotor casing cover to finish it off.

Is the left hand headlight mount bent or is it just a reflection? Not a criticism just curious.

What now? Sell it on?

Oh BTW, the side stand isn't the right one, not sure if you knew that but that would probably ground on left handers quite easily, I could easily ground the correct one and that sat far higher.

Nice job though, came out well.

I cant believe with the current price of electricity, that so much time is being spent on polishing.

A Dremel, even the most powerful Dremel is less than 200W, that means you can use it for 5 hours and you'll use 1 unit of electricity, that's around 16p approx. Hardly going to break the bank.

If you polish just using polishing compound and a polishing machine you'll just end up with a nice shiny piece that will look awful very very quickly as you've just sealed in all the contaminants hiding under the surface, these rise to the surface within weeks and the piece looks like it has leprosy. You can actually see them in your pic, those lighter grey areas. You also won't get rid of the gouges or scratches.

Does it start using the kickstart, if it does then it's most likely a starter motor problem or solenoid.

TBH that's looking fine, ok so there are some marks but now you need to step up the fineness of the brushes you're using. What did you use to get that finish?

I told you that bolt would be stuck didn't I? Gotta get it out now Ted before you go any further, got Max making some out of stainless so even if you ruin it getting it out it's not the end of the world.

Seriously, keep at it, I did say you'd be asking yourself what you had started and how you wished you hadn't, again and again. That's the inexperience talking, I went through it, Roos going through it and so will everyone else, I'd be pleased with that, sure there are some rough patches but you just need to use finer and finer brushes, trim the edge down with a flap wheel where it's broken, give it a shape, round the edges off so it looks like it should be like that.

I'd say another 3-4 hours and that will be fine.

Get some wire brushes for the Dremel, NOT brass, waste of time brass brushes, get forward facing wire brushes, metal ones, get into the centre of those rivets and get all that rust and corrosion out, get into the corners where the flange starts, smooth out those scraggy bits you can see.

It's coming on Ted, you may have the knack
