Paint stripped the spare Sunrise Flake Orange tank (squeaky clean inside). then fine bead blasted.. man !! was that paint stubborn to remove. Just need one lug repair on one panel and then off to Menno Dek to work his magic .. Candy Jade Green.... 1st time I used him, used Andy Parnaby last time for my 750K0. I have paint sets for my CB250/350 twins to get done and Andy is painting one the same Candy Red and white at the 'mo for another customer, so decided I will send those to him. Always an awkward call splitting the work but trying to be fair to both painters. Decided my JDM twin is metallic grey almost black (same colour as CD175A 1967-1970) NOT candy so going to get the paint from RS Bikepaints and get a local car place owned by the mate of the GM at work, to paint that set. We will see how it pans out in the New Year after I get them all back,and I will post on here.
Freed off the master cylinder, not got the caliper piston out yet. Solid brake union into caliper freed off OK but I snapped off the bleed nipple. I should have heated it first but I was knackered and didn't consider the job properly. The hex was perfect so I hoped it would come out OK. Going to try to build up with weld until there is a large blob on the top and then file flats on the blob until a spanner will fit. failing that then drill out carefully. This worked like magic on a really stubborn broken of 750K0 cylinder stud last month.
