You're right, I have seen dirtier but a good clean up before rebuilding it is part of my restoration standards

Hmmm Astute fronts...well done Andy ! I waited2 month until a new pair of tires showed up in Germany for a fair price !

Hi, no I don't use those paper seals for 2 reasons:
I do not fill the transmissions with oil
And the seals have a direct impact on the gap between the gear teeth what makes it very difficult to adjust the gear change.

I can tell you that because I tried it once and I ended taking them away.

We had to go to the last Michel POLNAREFF parisian concert. And it was canceled.
The LOOSE

worked on the coors. Masking and 1st layer of red.. And I painted the lunchy runner body. Poor painting but now I will have no regret when I will crash it.
