When we moved into the house we still live in there was 8 radiators to strip,this was 11 years back and I bought 2 gallons of the old nitromors in the green metal tins. I still have under half a gallon so I use this only on parts which the flap wheel wont reach. There has been some debate this year on this subject and Series 1 gem was looking into other options,not sure what happened,he may be worth a PM.

Rubbing down has started, and who ever touched it up last wants a touch of birch ! They have used a paint which has caused a reaction with the original cellulose and the whole machine will need paint stripper to remove it. More Expense thumbs permanently down well have started so off we go. this is going to keep me going quite a while now.

I knew it, those ideas just keep coming,and coming very pleased that you have had another brainwave and when you get it all mounted the pictures will tell another story.

i got hold of an old pan seat and a flat steering wheel today john so that will probaly change the look again 😀

you certainly have been busy and you must have some metal working skills,of which I am envious. I can fabricate large Items and weld till the cows come home .but we are all different. I noticed that your tank was the same as the big atco one here ,so I still have not got mine dated but someone will hopefully get me within a couple of years. not sure if we have any members on here who are say in the lawnmower club but maybe one will pop up and get it dated. going back to the paint code,hope you have positive success as I failed to get a common code for us all. I am nearly sure that if you get it 100 per cent you will be able to solve where Lord Lucan is !!!!!!!!

Darren , any news for us on the powder coating ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Got the little blighter at last ! a few delicate squirts of WD and a small loving tap or two from the Mash Hammer and I now have it parted. Thought it was not going to play ball,but persistence won the day. this now gives me the chance to start rubbing down with the fine flap wheel which I can recommend to beginers.

No tank and a different carb setup, and regualtor on top of th airhroud,somewhere I’ve got a gas carb knocking about but haven’t seen it for a number of years.

[vhgmcbuddy]

thank you all very much for the help, I will see how I get on and let you know. ordered a new coil for it today so will have to wait. have any off you come across a gas powered one before ? as this is fitted with a regulator instead of a tank!?
