[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 133503, member: 3287"] Graham Jamison NZ built a (black shadow completely with a few original components even MADE IN NEWZEALD cast into the c/case) then a few years back restored an Arial square four OHC 600cc I think with forward facing carb, all fasteners in S/S but had a light dusting of fine glass blasting and looked like freshly cad plating as I use to have a mate in the EEM department who use to get cad plating done for me and it doesn't deteriorate. I too like bling and love the smell of s/s. It does smell ask my son he will tell you. Having now finished the "A" Comet that Bill built up for me and while the "A" Rap tank was being painted maroon I've removed my rocker pins that I'd made in s/s. After 24-k miles can't see any sign of wear what so ever. They say it work hardens. Anyway seeing as they were off I decided to mod them further, originals are 7/16 Whit spanner size and its awkward to get a spanner on so made it 3/8 Whit but the hexagon looked too big under the banjo so reduce them to 5/16 Whit size, much easier to get on a ring spanner. the idea of using the banjo's is to get the oil feed lines out of the way to fit the second plug. bananaman. NOS FROM 1966 COLLECTED FROM TONY FOX-MALE HAVE QUITE A FEW NEW "A" ITEMS LIKE THIS A LOT HAVE BEEN ZINC PLATED, ANY ONE DOING AN 'A" THEY CAN HAVE AT REASONABLE PRICES.
