Not sure those are the original clocks anyway Erny. I seem to recall the faces were light green and those look to be the blue/green faces off a 550F2 or 550K3.

500 or 550? The 550 vents to the airbox under where you sit, the 500 vents to atmosphere. Could be that.

Dark green are 80 grit, dark blue 120 grit and Red 240 grit. Must emphasise this, do not press hard or they will disintegrate on you. Around 15 on the Dremel speed, do not use high speeds with them if you can help it.
Get the feel of them and after a while you’ll know how far you can push them without wearing them out quick or them breaking up, they are bloody brilliant bits of kit. So versatile, you’ll be wondering how you got by without them in a bit.

I'd say 2-3mm Ted, they are fairly thick as standard.

Use the new discs, use something like light blue or purple and see how it goes. if it doesn't do to well being metal use red, that'll do it. Don't use dark green unless you want them looking polished  Don't do inside the eye or the flat parts where the stamping is though. Degrease it first with petrol or brake cleaner.

I do Roo, almost as good a the Dremel Speedclic ones but those are over £5 for one brush. Don't waste your time with one disc on a mandrel unless you are trying to access a tight area (which these are very good at BTW) use 2 or 3 on each mandrel (they are supplied as well). They've just gone up £1, I paid £10.99 on August 2nd for the same kit. I also bought 60 dark green and 60 dark blue as those are the 2 colours I use a lot.
I broke my Black and Decker workmate yesterday, bought it in 1979 and it's been heavily abused. One of the wood slats broke in 2 after I jammed an engine on it. I use the workmate as my stand for my buffing machine so I'll need to make a complete new top for it out of solid oak. Might be Wednesday before I start to buff the fork sliders for you, spent most of yesterday sanding them (with those discs I may add) before flatting them with wet and dry. One is already done and one just needs to be done. I remembered you wanted the internals out of the 550F forks as well didn't you. Need to find a box long enough now.

It's for refacing the points as you suspected.

You seem to have caught the bug Roo, there is no cure I'm afraid.

Not 100% sure but the wrench may be a 26mm one not 27mm. One of them anyway.

File had a round handle IIRC.
Very rare. Only ever seen 2 or 3.

You're missing the speedo cable bung. Goes in the hole in the front mudguard and the speedo cable passes through it. OE one is a sort of dirty white/grey colour.

Until you remove most if not all of the ingrained crap and the lacquer which will still be on there you're really wasting your time trying to polish. If you want to wait until the bikes off the road I'll do them for you Ted, like I did the speedo dishes. Unless of course you have some spare. Tried those mops, not great IMO, far better things out there for Dremels. Like these. I just bought £100 worth of these. They should last me for a year or so. Fit 2 or even 3 on a mandrel, there is a dot on the back of the disc, this goes towards the Dremel so the fronds are fitted the right way. The dark green is 80 grade, dark blue 120, red is 240. After that it goes 400, 600, 1000, 2500. The 400 and 600 are ok for alloy but only really for smoothing out the marks from the rougher colours. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wobekuy-Bristle-Abrasive-Polishing-Accessories/dp/B097NHP7CM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=8YTJ0GNSB02D&keywords=radial+brush+disc&qid=1659870686&sprefix=radial+brush+disc%2Caps%2C62&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzVUM2QkVDSlVXRVAwJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDQzMjQ5MVc0S1hBVktDRThUJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxOTczMjcxUTkxR09HUVA0MDFFJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

No, disassemble. You'll clearly fitted something wrong. Try and remove all the clutch plates and see if any are stuck together. Kick start is clearly not fitted right or it would work.

You can clean them if you want. Don’t go mad though.
