Good point Harv. I don’t see that it could be that hard to smith one up. Having the pattern is the thing.

I think I've got one Clay in one of my bombs. I'll have a look.

Got 12mm marine ply. They talked me put of the hoop pine ply but I kind of so hee they hadn't. Was $267 versus $120 the only reason. KBS diamond coat was the clear recommended by Steve.Image

No clamps. Just the bump stops that stop the wheel going forward

There has been a few floating around ebay - i picked one up for 30$ 12 months ago in very good nick - or try warburton spares - he seams to have plenty of stuff out there but ask for pics first as some of it is just rusty crap

bugger - you cant be happy with that - you could probably find a new one " in the shed " :ewink: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin:

I was wondering when you were going to cut and buff .................
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Never done any of this before Blacky so each new task gets approached with some trepidation.

I will repair the badge with epoxy resin and glass fibre no problem. Just another task I didn’t need. I do have a very nice repro already but needs chroming, and pins so easier to fix this.

I’m taking my repro off and putting a real one on - your welcome to the repro - it’s mint chrome

Oh bugger....... those boot badges are rather delicate. I know as I broke one of my original ones too :( Once you repair it no one will see it.

Put me down for one of those spare wheel clamps too please!

Clay - I’d be interested to hear how you find the diamond finish clear from kbs. I’ve had mixed results - seems to spray much better than it brushes on. Easy to get gas bubbles with the brush...
