Project Board / Restoring Chrome
« on: May 05, 2018, 09:00:44 AM »
Having spoken to the local chromer, who said that it would cost about the same to re-chrome my parts as it would to buy new (outside my budget), I decided to have a go at cleaning up the parts myself.
This is what I started with:

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

This is how they’ve cleaned up so far. Haven’t polished them yet.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

The question I’ve got is what do I do about the ends?

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Do I knock off the rest of the loose(ish) stuff? Use Rust Converter? Build up with metal filler? Or should I just clean up and use as is? Any tips would be helpful.

Also is it possible to shine up dull chrome? If so what’s the best thing to use?

Thanks All.

Went for these in the end as I prefer the head.

And as Orcadian says when polished should look good.

Meant to say the regulator wire is white not grey.

Ha. Made me laugh. God knows why I posted the regulator, it's even got a big label attached saying Voltage Regulator.  :-[
This pic is the label on the indicator relay. Complete with wiring diagram as my relay has no markings at all.

Thanks Emiel,
They only have 2 in stock and with shipping and tax it comes to over €20 for 2!! Bit too steep for me.

Looks great Julie. Job well done, pat on the back I think. Long way to go on mine yet, hopefully will go as well as yours.  :) :) Very pleased for you.

CB350/400 / Wanted. Blue left hand side cover.
« on: May 01, 2018, 10:57:58 AM »
Does anyone have a blue left hand side cover they would part with? Mine has been snapped and repaired, I would like to replace with one in good condition?
I do have a spare yellow one that I could spray but would prefer blue.
If I get a blue one the yellow one will become available if anyone is interested.

Couple of pics of what mine looks like. Some markings you can see some you can't.

Had the same problem with mine. Tried cleaning with petrol, different lights, magnifying glass, but some were just invisible. In the end I had them measured by a friend of mine at an engineering company. You may end up having to do the same.  :(
