Well I have dropped off 3 bases and handles to get blasted, as they dont fit in my bench cabinet too well and pick them up Thurs morning, he's doing the handels Thurs morning for me so I can pick them up on the way home from night shift and can get them under primer straight away, Been busy soaking parts and cleaning up bits, going to take some parts to work as one of the guys that works under me does soda blasting as a side line so will see how they turn out,(he might be getting a lot more)if they are good
I picked up another Model 5 for $20 tonight has got some usefull parts on it, I will use the base as the base on the blue one was welded and had a bit more of a crack where one side of the handle bolts on, it's got a good air cleaner (just need to find the sponge for inside, it's even got the plug spannerclips in good condition, good starter & two reasonable wheels, I have stripped it down now and has got a good full exhaust (the plate is in the bin) the engine has had some water in it and is locked up but have that soaking for a few days, the magneto and points/coil all look good and petrol tank also good has a good rubber under the tank strap the carby is also soaking and may be a right off as its had water in it for a while I would say but you never know.



Oh yeah the handle bar clamp is also good with no holes drilled in it so that will give me 3 good ones, he said it has been sitting out the back of his shed half covered up with a bit of roofing iron, dont know which half because shes pretty rough
