Hi an example is the brake lever for the back brake which was rusty and grime - and now it’s new looking and shiny but I suspect this time next year it will have surface rust on it Richard

Hi all A bit of a generic question. I am cleaning up and rebuilding all of the back end and for example some of the parts I have taken away 50 years of grime, rust etc and have a nice shiny piece of metal again which I’d like to preserve from rusting again. What I have thought of is to paint these parts and I have found I’ve had great success in the past, with good quality hammerite paint but what about the parts where paint does not really suit? What can I spray on the bare metal for example to make sure rust doesn’t return as soon as I go out on the road ? Any ideas

Hi guys, and thanks for all of help and good information! On closer inspection I can see there was a collar which I needed to unscrew and feel a little bit silly that I did not look a bit more closely ….

Hi guys, it seems that I have aftermarket axles and this has some sort of cap which you unscrew. Oh how silly do I feel right now…..

Hi Grafton been reading some posts from the forum from the US and think you may be right - so will give it a go tomorrow thanks for replying Richard

Goedeavond Waldi! I thought about doing that, but what put me off was that there is a grease nipple right in front of one of the nuts …but am I correct in understanding if I remove all four of those nuts it will fit through the swing arm okay?

Hi I am trying to pull out my rear axle/hub. It moves a cm or so and all six bolts are off but something is stopping it. i can see the horrible mechanic I hired a few years ago missed a stud and also forgot the outer boot but apart from his shoddy work I don’t get why it won’t pull out?! if you look at the two pictures you’ll see the splines move a bit any help much appreciated

I have this !

Hallo Waldi! Not really …. Think you have a point … Richard

Thanks - I did not plan to take the caps off and only use it all so thank you for the education on the hexagon. And good thinking CK on pulling all plugs!

Hi Peter yes. . . Carb… one flat…. You mean rotation using the adjusting tool? Seems a lot ? richard

Hi picture shows two plugs almost new with about 300 miles on them. left is piston 6 right piston 1. I guess 6 is kinda okay whilst 1 is too rich. who would agree or give further comment ? Richard

That’s the one !!!

Hi guys apologies if this is a silly question, but can the LT wire just be a home-made job? Richard

Hi guys think my LT wire was dodgy . back to question on coil - how can I best test this (the coil )? richard
