Handle bars and stays as well as the tank bracket have been stripped and painted and I must say they do look well. have had a look at the original tank bolts and not sure if they can take another 60 years. I have some bolts here see bottom right of photo,do you think they are up to it ???

Not just a pretty face then,when you have a spare hour or two make them in different sizes and put them on the unmentional one.that little basket would be about £11 on the bay. well done

Thanks Charlie

oh well clive you win some you loose some, actually I think I am in the same boat,our tool clip has had it as well,guess we will both need to return to work after the break………shucks !

[vhgmcbuddy]

reason for being slightly exited is I bought one of these for ten pounds so my grandson and myself could restore it together as his first project. might I add that this one belonged to a chunkie male body builder and when I asked him how long he had been using it he said about 12 years. I did not feel brave enough to tell him that he had been using a ladys mower in public without knowing it. am I a coward or what !!!

Are you thinking of a prosperous new year John. Value is one thing but getting a buyer is another. Be interesting to see if does sell.

[vhgmcbuddy]

looking good 😀

[vhgmcbuddy]

what museum was that john, sure it wasnt harrods?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Fuel tank now pained and fitted….

[vhgmcbuddy]

yes Darren its brushed on ,and most of my restorations are the same barring the barford atom. expensive brush though but the combination of paint and brush make the job quite easy,the secret is don’t stop once you start an object until completed.

During strip down of the drive actuator,have discovered from an old photo that this tubeular piece which you pull and twist has gone missing. most Atco’s have it but I don’t. Has anyone got a spare or is it a case of fabricate another bit. the inside diameter is 46 mm,and I am not sure how thick the sidewall is but I know if its to thick it will foul on the chaincase.

Also a couple of snaps of the chaincase and tank.
