Hi all,
               Has anyone got any Yellow crank main bearing shells.
Yamiya haven't got them and I don't want to go to Silvers.
Also need Brown and Green but these are available from Yamiya.
Thanks

Just missed that Paul,
Yes, used extensively in Aircraft - we worked closely with Ciba-Geigy who developed it and it was thoroughly tested, I can confirm!  One problem when joining materials with bolts and rivets is that they can suffer from 'fretting' where tiny amounts of movement can take place with vibration and hot/cold cycles.  Interfacing the joints with Araldite prolonged the service life of those vulnerable parts.  Don't worry, the wings and wheels are bolted on!

Am I missing something?
I have been using Araldite since I was an apprentice in the Aircraft industry in the 1960's.  In those days it was in 2 separate tubes and equal amounts were used - simple!  Then a new system was introduced to dispense the two parts equally, which took out any possibility of error - a great improvement.  Unfortunately, this system has been 'improved' yet again with 2 only nozzles with mixing chambers, which are then left full of unused and unusable product.  Am I missing something, or am I now expected to use the whole package with only 2 applications?  I have always just dispensed the required amount for the job.  Perhaps they are following the Colman's Mustard model who made their fortune, not from what people consumed but what was always left at the edge of the plate!!

Is it only me that is worried about the araldite being used in the aircraft industry  ??? ;D
Please expand on that Ian  ;)

I wonder what these covers made by Saddlecraft in South Sheilds are like ... have HONDA logo too.

https://www.saddlecraft.co.uk/product/honda-cb400-four/

Wonder if they bought Bob's tooling?

I had a seat made by them for the Z650 custom I did and it was spot on don't know about their covers.

Ash,     I would also argue the fact that 2k is not good in contact with the eyes and skin.
That is the reason I/they use full face mask even outside ;)
