My New Project arrives after a 44 year wait!
Oddjob:
Does he do the zinc plating for anyone Dave or just for you?
Laverda Dave:
He's an industrial plater Ken so in theory he will plate for anyone but normally it's all bulk type stuff from companies who machine hundreds of the same part and then send it for plating. Gary does some car and bike plating as a hobby more than anything else. I first met him in 1989 when we were both younger etc and needed extra jobs to pay the mortgage etc. He's about 5 years younger than me so in his mid 50’s now and he doesn't want to do late nights and weekends anymore so he chooses what he does. He does my plating simply because I've known him for so long and we had a couple of mutual friends. He's now off work for 4-6 months after having a big op on his hand last week. This is why he told me to take anything I needed plating for the rat bike before I went on holiday. It's a real shame he no longer does chrome plating as his work was the best I have seen anywhere.
Send me a PM of what you need doing and I'll ask him but it's going to be a while before he's back working. He doesn't do post though, it's all personal drop off and collection.
Oddjob:
That's ok Dave. I'll not bother him especially if he's off work. I was just curious as that's a nice job, especially like the tool kit plating, I have a 500 tool kit all ready for plating but I wasn't sure if my plating skills would be able to replicate that result so I thought I'd ask.. I really need to get my plating kit set up, I'm making a new work bench this winter so that should give me the space to try and do some..

Dave I can't post pics in a PM so put on here. (see PM)
A few Freebies to re-instate your airbox as promised. I have a NOS rubber cable clip thingy for you as well but it's not here.
I will re-plate the clip and oval tube in BZP before I send.

Marvelous, thank you Ash. These are all the parts I am missing. You even have the white plastic drain piece as well. Roo offered me one of these but I haven't taken him up on his kind offer as I was scouting eBay for all the other parts first to see what exactly is missing but from what I can see you have everything I need to refit a proper air filter system and get rid of the nasty pods🙂.
Please let me know the post etc for these👍.
Roo, thank you for your generous offer of the drain piece, apologies for not taking you up on the offer, hopefully someone else in my position can use the part as these seem really difficult to get hold off.
What great forum full of great people 🙂👍
