I had a full and new toolkit on my bike before I lent it to the BIL, went to check it a few years after and found some tools missing, really annoying.

Not sure if it's an optical illusion but No3 screwdriver looks slightly bent.

Ken, your more observant than I was it was indeed bent but ain’t anymore, yes I think I have a tool kit with the 26mm missing, must be the 550k3.

Seemed the best thing Matt with the absence of the front brake to control a ramp descent. The master cylinder plunger is stuck in!

philward:
That looks a great project Johnny

Orcade-Ian:
Looks like another great starting point Johnny,
Is this going to be another 'Leslie A' type restoration or a good tidy-up for use on any Orkney day?
I can re-plate the tool kit if you want unless you are going for 'patina'
I'll have to 'Scoot' by and have a look sometime.

At the moment considering a runabout (provided it runs😳) with a view to a definate full resto in the future. Thanks for the offer of plating Ian but I have a plating kit here too. I will give them a good clean and see what I think. Do come by for a scoot, or any other means.
