CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
royhall:
Finally got back on the 350 project. Have got the black stuff out for powder coating at PX Wheels in Poulton-Le-Fylde. Had him do my 750F2 and he made a cracking job of it. Also says it will be ready Wednesday next week, that's a one week turnaround. Not got it back yet but he only took 10 days to do the 750 so its looking good. The chromings gone out as well, opted for RS Electroplating as he's a forum member and he gave me a good price with a 5 week promise. So until it all comes back its on with the engine.

Quoted me £210 plus the dreaded for the chroming, not too bad as some of it is pretty rusty. The powder coating is £110 and no VAT for the frame plus all the brackets, swingarm, chain guard, battery box etc. Very pleased so far.
Tiny Tim:
That's a good price for the chroming and powder coating Roy.
I've still got to go through my chrome bits and decide to keep or replace.
Fork Stanchions are now at Philpots.

As you can see from the amount missing from the picture Tim, most of mine was replace. To be honest most of the original brightwork was just scrap. Had a price to do the back mudguard and it was 50% more than a replacement as the rust pits were so deep. My fork stanchions are pretty rusty behind the headlight ears and shrouds as its not chromed but the working area is spot on, so think I will de-rust with a brass wire wheel and just treat them. To be honest I've got to economise somewhere as the rebuild is going to cost way more than the bike is worth ::)

Started building up the 350 engine at last.

Just about ready to mate the two halves, but cannot remember how many dowel pins were locating the crankcases. There are two 10mm at the front of the engine, does anybody know if there should be more. Cant find any other holes where a dowel would fit.

Except for that, the engine rebuild is going okay for now. More later.
Tiny Tim:
Are there two at the rear of the engine.
Part number 15.
