Rickman build
captaink:
The cases were oily black and tatty. See earlier posts of August 2nd. Soda blasted first followed by vapour blast. You still should wash the cases to remove all bits but there good enough for a mock up.
Prices.. well often I have a few other bits done but the cases,and five engine covers etc were
£140 inclusive.
A previous batch, head,cylinders rocker covers etc were £100
Try doing that yourself with stripper and parts cleaner.. Is a no brainer.
All done by TSR in Sevenoaks area... His name is Dave ,, pm for phone no.
I might, only might remove some of burrs on the top casting which is purely cosmetic then let them re vapour clean it, this will even the finish again, the cost will be only a few pounds

Question........
What are these two holes for in the cb750 F2 bottom case ?
They appear to be dead holes
captaink:
Anyway, the lower case has been vapour blasted but I want to be sure there's nothing left in any of the holes so a quick wash with the garden hose and a paint brush, a blast of compressed air followed by an hour sitting on top of the tumble drier to dry it all off.
Its now ready to put the gears back in and a new bearing in the lower case.
I'll wash the gears with white spirit and inspect them a bit better, any bearings that [ Guests cannot view attachments ] can be replaced will be.
Lower case pictured all nice and clean
captaink:
Nickel frame and all other parts will back next week from the platers.
Gears cleaned and pre fitted, new bearings ordered
Seat has gone off to the upholsterers

Bit of an update on the Rickman build
The frame is back from platers, there are areas that the polishing could not get to but there still plated just not super smooth.
All the bits seen and some that are not are polished nicely though.
All the brackets look really nice in nickel and chrome.
At moment I'm doing one of many pre fits just to make sure it all fits and I have not lost anything.
Engine spacers, I have made in stainless.
