Hey, Ken. “ If and when….”. There are folks on this site who will assist…you only need ask.

Oh, and to get optimal results an oven bake is essential in my humble opinion.

Do a search on this site: “Simoniz”. The recommendation by Nurse Julie is the right one.

I tend to agree, Ken. The welding around the brace is about as bad as I’ve seen….cosmetically that is. It certainly doesn’t look original and the heavy paint coating can’t hide it. I’ll take some detailed photos of mine tomorrow with the horn off for comparison.

That picture I supplied is from a 1977 F2. I’m not totally convinced that the frame section you have photographed is original, but I’m definitely not an expert.

BTW. The horn is only loosely mounted as I’m refurbishing….before anybody comments.

I had lots of trouble with the taper bearing, eventually reverting to the original ball race solution. Regarding the bottom yoke, be cautious. They are made of cheese and can be easily bent (misaligned). It is possible to realign them, but it’s also very easy to over-stress them doing so. In fact some on this forum may not recommend re truing, but I’d say it really depends on the amount of misalignment…I managed it successfully. If the original bottom yoke is in good condition and has good alignment, try welding and grinding a new stop as a first resort.

Yes, seen that. Brought back a few distant nightmares. Cranks, clutch, case cracks, valve guide wear, broken pushrods…. It goes on. I’d still have one, though😀

It’s Britain, everything is just too hard.

However geriatric care in York is a SoS. They can’t fill water jugs, clean toilets or even wear face masks properly. They have excellent control of single hand working with mobile phones on hand, though.

Yes, the pattern ignition switches are just fine. Other potential failure points are the RH switchgear starter button, which can turn to goo and disintegrate.
