I think I'd be tempted to leave out the steel inner bush & turn up a one-piece bush in bronze......

Back to mufflers - I havn't fitted them yet, but I've got a set of dave Swarbrick's CR72 replica mufflers & apart from the exposed pop-rivets holding the baffels, they're the closets thing I've seen to an 'off-the-shelf' Honda period racing muffler....... They're supplied raw, to chrome or paint at ...

Chroming the front suspension unit on a Dream.... Thoughts?

Hi All, The pivoting arm/loop on my Dream (that forms the leading link suspension & holds both shocks) needs chroming. Thing is, I'm unsure what to do aboutn the bakelite bushes on the pivot-points.

No offence taken at all, Snakeoil - it was fair advice!! Good idea about dropping the oil pump, too - I'd never thought about that on one of these.....
