My F2 Rebuild
F2 Paul 876:
Well i have finished the toolbox/rear mudguard just got to refit it to the frame later.
Not to bad a finish on it plastic was quite scratched would not polish out as a
Polly-type plastic and this dose not polish up to good.

I had to change some of the fittings, i have not reused a rivet as i could not get any that size, so i used a CSK bolt and a K-nut this dose allow allot essayer dismantelling again and refitting.
The toolbox flap screws got chewed up when i took them out so i have replace with button heads they do not look to out of place, if i come across some of the Oreg ones i can quickly replace with out to much trouble.

I have all so made a start on the oil tank, not going to strip all the paint off as the front face is ok and has quite thick paint on it unlike the rest of the parts. It was mostly the back that needs de-rusting and cleaning up.
I have got about 1/2 way now, just need to buy a 27mm spanner this week so i can take the oil pipes off so i can get into the space around the back of them to clean it and the pipe fittings.
I will hopefully get this done some time in the week after i get the spanner.
Till later Paul

Looking good, I can remember this stage on my F1, it's nice when it's all cleaned up, I use Auto Glym stuff on all the plastic stuff, comes up well.

It's been a long time since i did any thing on the bike to many other projects that i need to do.
I have finished the Oil tank and the rear brake light switch bracket not to bad a finish i used double acrylic on them we had some spare !! at work.
I just need new oil seals should have these at work as we have about 400 plus seals that we have on the shelfs.
I do not think i shall get to much done now for a few months as busy time at work now till march, so on hold till then, plus the shed has no heat, me getting old now Me's think.
Till next time Paul
