Well done. Looking very tidy.

You could lock my dad up with that and a tube of autosol and he'd be very happy.

Nice, whats the history of them, how did you come across them?

My neighbour who is in his early 80's restores old bikes, he even done some for the national motorcycle musuem which is 5 mins away.
He makes all his own stainless imperial screws and bolts on his lathe in the shed.

Hi knows his stuff but his wife has suspected dimentia so he dont get as much time now i think.

keep up the good work

Actually I'm really suprised how well the AJ has come up, to think they've been laying in a garage for 5 years just gathering dust and rust. Still waiting for the crank to be rebuilt for the Matchless, but it's head and barrel are done.
