polishing thread?
Laverdaroo:
I ordered what you suggested and these are what came!
6 of each Ken.
Not even looking at it today. Had enough of that chapter for at least 24hrs!
I do think my bench grinder isn’t fast enough though to get a decent finish. I may have to go back to the abranet and elbow at this rate. I’ll keep at it but out tonight for her birthday so don’t want to get blathered and turn up with black hands
This is what I got in the kit…..
Multiples of, obviously…..

Missing the dark green Roo but the one on the right I call red, the one below it I call light blue.
I'll be doing some more later tonight after picking up the missus from work. I've got a stack of stuff to take to the chromers for de-chroming, mainly alloy bits like float bowls and carb tops. Also got a couple of bits for chroming after de-pitting them etc and I've got stacks of de-chromed pieces that need attention so they can be chromed afterwards, including your favourite the 550F2 chain guard, even though I've got a NOS one I prefer to see if I can refurbish a decent one first, I can then sell on the NOS one, plus I find the chrome is better on UK chromers work, shine is deeper.
Got to make myself a new work bench later this week, need decent weather though for my chop saw, the sawdust it creates means it's all over the garage if I do it inside. Then I'm moving my roll cab tool chest to closer to the new bench, after that I can finally set up my zinc/nickel plating kit as I should have more space.

I love workshop re-jigs, thats my kind of job. :)
I'm slowly gathering a tub of stuff to plate after I've finished the 'brake plate from hell'. It's a sod to get flat and when youre there you get two stages down the line and something else crops up..........the sod! It's quite heavily stained too, it appears, even after going back to 180 in some places. I'll get there but after deciding to do this I'm sending the hub out, sod that.Lifes too short ;D

need a change as I'm getting 'snow blind' and hopefully picking p the re polished clutch cover tomorrow afternoon so it's back to engine fiddling tomorrow and de dust stuff. Theres a bit of fluff flying about and it really likes assembly lube. Even f you do have apolyester sheet over with a bungee!.......it appears so. :o >:(
Not binning it, just having a breather to get a few wins in inbetween the onslaught. Keeps you going 8)
