I just opted to spray paint the body silver rather than send it out for zinc plating, clear powder coated the fasteners, bearings went in as per the magneto
:popcorn:BTW, how are you addressing the pitting? I ask because i have a set of Ambo Headlight ears that I cleaned with Evaporust, and they look similar to that fender.
Apologies if you already know this! The dynamo needs to ground through the body - that is how the regulator, field and armature are grounded and how the regulator "knows" the battery voltage. If it is not grounded through the crankcase and frame it will over charge and over heat the regulator or armature. I made this mistake on the Ariel the first time I did it! (The magneto also needs to ground through the crankcase.) The mag and dynamo parts look great! That is a home powdercoating setup?Find someone to remagnetize your magneto after it is reassembled. Old farm tractor clubs often know someone who can do it.
i am a new owner of a 1962 Moto Guzzi Lodola 235. Can someone tell me the best motor oil to use? I'm assuming straight 30wt but would like to hear from someone that knows more than me.Also, the dipstick is on a screw cap on the sump. the stick slides up and down thru the cap. i assume there was originally a float that slid the stick up or down indicating oil level. any ideas on what to use for new float??Really appreciate any help, thoughts , ideas.best to all.
Your work is beautiful and thorough. and that plater turned it around amazingly fast!Congrats on the dynamo. Was the brown field lead positive?
Over tightening bends the flange and distorts the body. Don't re-surface the flange or the next time you mount the carb it will distort the carb body more.

Outstanding toolbox repair. You are learning those TIG skills! And good tip on BritishWiring - thanks.
I am looking for a new 6V festoon bulb that snaps into the fitting on the switch plate, anyone have a source for these, everyone I have are too big or too small.
Ah that colour looks more like Amaranth than red.
