Hi all, good news, I managed to hunt down an original owner SB 430 whichc needs only a small amount of talc, however I'm going to give her an overhaul and freshen up. Currently the frame is in at the blaster. New drive, bearings, front roller and belt are in the post and hopefully will assemble over Easter! The old 590 has come in handy for a few parts and a spare catcher.
Does anyone know if the modern day neoprene cork gasket material is suitable to cut the clutch out of?
Hope to send pics soon, she will be hammertone charcoal greay as the only hammertone green I could get was a mint colour which would not have been technically correct either....
