Seriously man!!! That is a work of art!!

A newbie type question - are all your nuts and bolts new/replacements - or do you have some awesome technique for cleaning/polishing them??

This thread is an inspiration!!! I will always use these pictures as a goal to achieve with my restorations.

Well done Chris!

IF you don't want to waste it on a battery charger it would go great on the Gilson Rotary Hoe I got from the tip recently, that has an even earlier model of that motor that needs a magneto coil to replace the old points system. :-)

Thanks guy's....Polybus because I use what I restore and It will get wet at some stage like left in the rain(who me never grin ), and I hate rusty looking bolts...I just wire brush them and paint them with a silver metallic automotive type paint , am not a fan of clear paint looks like crap in no time, but clear would be fine if its a shelf queen and is never exposed to the elements sun/rain...One tip is don't use silver frost paint it's nasty stuff and can be washed off with fuel or degreaser and does not last very long in the elements IMHO.....Shore I could send bolts out to get replated but I try to keeps cost low is just a hobby I can by lots of mowers and stuff for the same cost of replating a few bolts for one machine...
