OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
smoothoperator:
More solid progress Ted, looking really good. Hopefully the petrol shortage will be history by the time you need a tank full.

Still waiting for some small items from DS so I've started the boring stuff - dismantled both of the front footrests - cleaned, Evaporust & painted the RH side first.
Replaced bolts with SS ones, used cordless impact driver to remove the two bolts throught the grip plate as they were tight. Cleaned the rubber part using soap & warm water - dried them - then used Auto Glym Bumper & trim gel to restore the blackness - it's a clear gel.

Looking good Ted. It's all the small boring bits that take the time. I do a few boring jobs in between doing the 'nice' stuff like engine build etc. Nothing worse than seeing a large chunk of nearly finished bike on the bench for weeks on end whilst you do the small boring bits!
Have you put the wiring loom in the dishwasher yet?

I can't PM you as you are blocked for messages from members.
Do you have a source for the correct SS front foot rest pivot pins please?
A link would be good.
Thanks in advance Ted

My loom was a mess so I've a bought a new one - I've started to realise that there are other bits of smaller looms like the fuse box & alternator mini looms to clean up.
Does the dishwasher trick clean up the brass terminals or are they all in need of a wire brushing with a small brass suede shoe brush?
