Mike I'm not sure if your spring and C thing is black or painted, here's mine re-zinced, certainly get the nuts and bolts done.

I just like seeing what's happening in the old dart. Seeing I came from there in chains.

Mike for what it's worth, why don't you get the nuts and bolts re-zinced seeing you've a new coat on the frame, it's not expensive and it'll make it look much better?

I'm restoring a 500 and had plenty of stuff rezinced and it looks like new.

Have a go, take your time and you'll be amazed at the results. Check the rims are still ok to use and won't collapse from rust when you start riding.

Theses are mine



Read up on how to lace them and you'll have it going in no time. Look for the marks on the hubs and they'll tell you where they go.
You'll have the pleasure of doing it yourself, plus you'll save a huge amount of money.


Regards

Mick
