Who`d have thunked it

Post by pstormer »

Can`t believe what a bit of time and patience can achieve. I though it was beyond repair but after attacking it with a dremmel and giving it a lick of hammerite smooth it looks like new :biggrin

looks like you did a top job, and you have the satisfaction of doing it yourself, i'd even consider throwing a load of lacquer on it for extra protection.... :thumbup:

Good job :thumbup: Did you note there is an arrow on the side of one of the plates so you put it on the bike with the arrow pointing forward. I hope you haven't covered that up in a thick coat of Hammerite.

Spray loads of WD-40 on it & let it soak over night, even better if you can put it in a pot or something & cover it in engine cleaner or even petrol & soak over night.
