Yep so far John is saying the same, he has me looking for another number that I cant find just yet to confirm if it is Australian made or German made.Split-Lover** wrote:I think it is Oct 1960, which makes it a 61, but ask the man (John)

Shipping might be expensive, but you can send in your grimey pedals and ta da! Fresh rebrushed, new pedals.
The bushings etc are sometimes hard to find, so for $75, it's really a deal.
(Plus you don't need all the stuff, just the working bits, and he sells them outright).

- Most of the larger dents removed, now just need to work on the minor ones. I want to use as little filler as possible.

- The only good thing about the bay tail lights is that its easier to get my arm in for panel repairs

- After many, many many hours of electric wire brushing and rust treating and crap in my eyes, I was finally able to get most of the front underneath painted. I'm pretty new to spray painting, so I'm happy with the result.
