        Went to Princess Auto and picked up a couple of ratchet straps for $2 each.

        One done.Things keep wandering passed the buffer wheels round here

        All nice and shiny.Even have damping,adjusters work as well.Really wish we could rebuild these.

          That's a great idea, was wondering how to do that. Getting there Greg, at least this crap weather is good for something. So how exactly did you keep the paint off the lettering?

                      Good job hand polishing. When the grid goes out here (rarely) I put the moves on the wife (which works as rarely...)

                          Get some WIZARDS POWER SEAL and rub it into the bolts real well. Let it dry and wipe off. This stuff will prevent corrosion and rust for many many many moons.

                          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                            I've never heard of this wizards stuff. Where would one purchase it from?
