Its ther original one, I had it in a bag with all the fixings for the gear mech behind the clutch, must have had it in my hands about 30 times and still not twigged! Doh!
Lesson here is, wash everything and put it in clean bags whilst stripping and try not to write on the bag with whitr board marker so it doesnt rub off yer pillock Roo! ::)

Gonna have a go at the wheels meself Phil, the 400 ones turned out really well so ordered spokes etc today as part of another £250+ order to all and sundry!  with the forks, thats over £500 this week.................eek!

I know, it adds up. I’ll never get back what I have in the 550, which is why I’ve favoured it over the 500. I need to ride the 550 just to get some ‘value’ out of it. To be fair, if I’d been able to snag a 500 for what the 550 cost, the restoration cost would have been similar, but the cost/value deficit would have been less…..sob, whimper.

My future plan is to restore the Triton, sell it and wait patiently for a substantially complete 500, even a completed one if the ‘price is right’. That will be a while, as the Clipper RTW cost is punitive.

I’m still looking for a benefactor……..

Oddjob:
Professionals get dents out by spot welding a small rod onto the dent, then use a slide hammer action on the rod to pull the dent out, the spot weld is then ground off.

Should have put a close up pic of the clutch cover up so we could see how the chromers did with the repolish. Doesn't look to bad from a distance but could be pants close up.
