I think I'm going to stick with some soda/sand/bead blasting - I just don't have the room for electrolysis, or the time for Molasses.

I made a flying visit down to Sydney last week-end and while I was there I picked up a couple of sets of crankshaft bearings - and was quite surprised by the price.

The bearings are:
1: 6203
2: RLS6 (which I am told is a modern version of the LS8)

Six bucks each!!! Cheap as chips! I was expecting about $20 or $30 each based on the UK spares websites.

So I bought two lots one for my current restoration, the Model 2a, and another lot for my Model 2s - which is next on the list.

So next job is - Clean/Blast/Undercoat/Paint the crankcase.
