 Bought a NOS ( New Old Stock )head light shell and unfortunately the chrome wasn't up to much, so got it stripped. Polished myself and then got re-chromed at Calmac Metal Finishers in Gosport.
|
 Used a worn out polishing wheel to polish the round indent as it fitted inside OK without wearing the edges of the dip away.
|
 The gear changer again was re-chromed at Calmac. The back is usually left as a cast finished but with a dremel sanded the back smooth and polished before chroming.
|
 Side stand, hole drilled to 12.5mm for a bronze bush.
|
 Side stand, bush presses in, the 1mm thick flange on the bush stops the chrome being worn away when the side stand is used.
|
 Polished the under side with a dremel and also a 4" wheel on the polisher. Chrome came out surprisingly good as usually yellow an a bit rough.
|
 There is also a thin bronze washer on the back of the mounting plate.
|
 All assembled.
