  1. The little light might be an aftermarket charge indicator light. I have one on one of my supersports. Charging light.jpg

  2. I love rebuilds but for this id be pulling it down to its component parts and recoating literally everything from the ground up...still good to watch though...!

    Ill eventually be on the look out for an old monster to do exactly that with!!

  4. Well, a small thing but i managed to replace the fuse-box lid!

    Managed to find a standard fusebox on ebay where the lid is a perfect fit:- 123366665200 then ordered the decal :)

  6. Been busy painting parts too...

    If i dont get a nice finish then i will re-do, or powder-coat where possible... but i prefer to 'give it a go' myself and see if i can make it nice.

  7. Polished the yokes to a nicer level, and ive removed the foam from the clocks, cleaned off the residue, and ordered new foam. I have ordered 5 new foams - they will arrive before Christmas, so if they are nice then i will sell the spares on this forum...

  10. My guess is an old deep fat fryer or perhaps a bath from an ultrasonic cleaner.
     
  11. Both very good guesses, but its a "gastronorm pan" - i got a few for free some years ago, they are ideal for the garage :)

  12. These guys were a pain to remove!

    Glad to have them off the engine though, will replace them, fit new belts, change the oil/plugs, etc... and hope she starts and runs!
