Yep, every X7 owner had Microns back then, and no-one ever packed the end-cans with wadding so you could hear them from MILES away :smt042

Been having issues with the electric start, every time I pressed the button, the fuse would blow. So I've left well alone for a week, been to it this morning with a fresh mind & noticed that I had got some of the wiring wrong, so righted it & the old girl sparked into life. I'm one happy bunny :)

looking superb Col :-)

one thing i will say is i have never seen expansion chambers that the welds were not dressed, even back in the day all of them were shiny especially well known makes.

never thought about making your own chroming tank for small parts?

I tried nickel plating & failed miserably [emoji23]

That's looking lovely Col. Not far from finished I'd guess?

One of the bolts from my caliper was missing, so routed around on the net to find that only genuine parts were available at £27.00! I started to do a little homework and found that a 1978 gs550 caliper had the same bolts in, there was one on Ebay for £20.00 posted. It arrived today & I had to go & play. I also derusted the brake line guide. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...60aa0385ed.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...80815532e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b201c79c81.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b10ae45163.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2ef5183956.jpg
