What is the way to go for maximum originality on the paint for the frame swing arm etc. mine's a Mk 2 but is it the same brew ?
Evaporust? Is that similar to Kroil? How long have you been letting it soak? Sometimes you do have to resort to brute force. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The best match the local powder coater could come up with was flat black, the finish looks like a very low gloss, not actually flat and |I am very happy with the results.I had the exhaust header, clamps, and cross over ceramic coated matte black, matches the new repro muffler I bought.
I assume you've heard of acetone and ATF?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A little rust goes a long way! Patience, heat and a bit of lube will over come eventually. Get rammy and things get broken. DonG
FinallyThe pistons are toast, the cylinders are junk, both cylinders have cracked skirts, I found a good used set of pistons and cylinders, the crank bearings don't feel very good ......
From the photos, I'm wondering if they weren't gummed into place instead of rusted into place. A few years ago I rebuilt the top-end on a customer's R75/5 BMW that had been left sitting petcocks open for several years. The gas drained through the carbs, flooded the cylinders and evaporated. When he bought it to me, he forgot to tell me that backstory, so I proceeded to remove the stuck pistons from the cylinders assuming they were rusted into place. Tried all sorts of penetrants, heat and non-damaging force. Once I switched to serious gum-cutting solvents, the pistons started to move and I eventually got them out undamaged.
I picked up my Benelli parts from the painter yesterday, I think he did a great job.
That looks tasty! Did you use a certain color code, or was it a paint match type of thing? Looks really good. Also, how are the decals applied (over or under clear coat)? Maybe it's paint, not decals...That is going to look very nice, looking forward to seeing it finished.
