750 K2 Strip & Rebuild - help please
Lobo:
Thanks all on the carb set-up info; all done & ready to be installed.
Todays problem is asking for tips to get the bloody rubber tray securely into the battery box. One of the pull-nipples long gone; the other with a nick. The rubber ‘lugs’ are suffering slightly from age (sound familiar?) but pliable enough I’d have thought. Despite applications of copious rubber grease they’re not showing any signs of compliance. Hands / knuckles now worn out…
Anyways, tip pls?

Piece of thin cord or string round the back of the nipple a couple of times and pull through as the cord unwinds hopefully pulls the nipple through. Haven’t tried this method but saw it somewhere.
Lobo:
Thanks Johnny; did try this on another nipple problem using waxed sail thread… it basically cut through said nipple. I may try it all again, but with a thicker / gentler cord.
(1) Today unlaced the hubs for polishing. When rebuild time comes back any comments on greases / anti seize lube etc to go onto the (SS) nipples where they sit in the chrome rim?
(2) the (front) disc mounting plate is to be repainted black. Should it be gloss, satin.. or matt pls?
(3) since I’ve got the disc in my hand, any ideas how to de-glaze it? Been through past threads here but not found much other than to buy a new disc.

Johnny4428:
Managed to refit mine with pull through nipples which were intact and a bit of rubber grease. Wasn’t too bad, but the disc pads on the sides of battery box were a pain in the butt! I think the inner disc plate is satin, but i think there is someone with more knowledge waiting in the wings that will confirm.
Lobo:
Onto the wheels / hubs today. Can anyone pls advise which of the below will rust / quickly look shabby - certainly I can plate but prefer not to where possible.
#6 I reckon definitely needs a zinc coat as seems ‘straight forward’ steel plate; but the other pieces?
Ta.
