if you go back in and edit your first post, I think you can change the heading in there ? The heading will change in the forum section, but all the subsequent posts will still have :Re: The dunger: as their title....

Thanks for the inservice gos.

Just wondering when repainting engine cases, what paint has anyone used and how good were the results?

PJ1 Satin Black gets a good rap, but I am not sure where to source it. Normally I just use whatever hi-temp engine enamel in glass black that I can find at Supercrap. These generally work really well - not 100% original but unless you want a concourse restoration its not an issue.

heres another inspiration for my bike

i just need to source an 84 fairing and single seat. dont think ill worry about slotting in the yamaha motor though.

thought id bring over the images i put up on slow and wobblies thread. here they are;



ive coated the tank in etch primer to slow down the oxidisation until i can get it to my mate to paint.

I created this today in about 45 minutes after seeing the shadowfax build thought id have a crack at it.

on a side note, what's it cost to rego a beer fridge nowadays I reckon the number plate would be worth more than the fridge

Im drinking it unregistered, and only at night. Greenslip is a killer.

it could be for sale........ 1962 model, genuine barn find, one owner, low miles, motor just wont die, extremely rare model.

Looks good mate - now how about a photo of that fridge ??

heres an original pic for you Gos when pick it up and do the resto on! I thought it was a 62 but it seems to be the classic 58 silent knight. http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collect ... irn=156369

A carton of good beer or whathave you will see it on your trailer
"As is" pic coming soon.

cool ! I should get over to my cousins place and take a photo of the old fridge she has - it looks a lot like that Silent Knight ! Still working 100% OK today, I think it was new in 1960 ??

been a bit busy lately but here my efforts with the sump. after degreasing, sanding, etch coating i hit it with some VHT case paint. Not getting paid for the plug but after sitting the paintcan in some warm water it flowed easily and gave a reasonably good result.


just need to get a pic of that fridge. Just noticed that the other fridge is an aluminium body model.

now that footy season is here my weekends are only a day long now. Thank the gods for the odd sickie up my sleeve.

Well Ive finally got the black bits back from my painter. and they're black. Will post up some pics tomorrow hopefully.
