[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 148399, member: 597"] Well the practice of punch locking or penning over things is typically British.........I don't particularly like it for the reasons Vic is expressing, but the thing is that this method is really aimed at "single use".......in the case of aircraft bolts used on many British built planes, the excess thread is cut off just proud of the plain nut, then the edge of the bolt is penned over whilst a Dolly is held against the head of the bolt.......Once removed for whatever reason the bolts/nuts are discarded and then replaced with new........this is just an example of how these things were done........Some cases have suffered terrible abuse from some who don't care for anything least an old bike. Vic most all of your mods are very well done, some are complete overkill.........most folk simply don't have the skill or funds/time to pay someone to carry out what you have done. I work on these bikes near full time and some jobs are a real struggle to fix, especially complex machining jobs that take a long time to get done........everyone who has these kind of skills are very busy these days........getting someone to spend precious time repairing damaged cases or similar is very difficult.
