Hi everyone, To all who are coming along tomorrow, have a safe journey to Welford. Please be aware that it isn't unknown for the 'Safety Camera' van(s) to sit on the run into Welford village - actually not unusual on any of the villages from Northampton to be honest. Welford is another one of those that has a 20mph speed limit. Additionally, please be aware of the gravel on the pub car park entrance! See you tomorrow, George Farenden   

Dominator service notes

I have been reading through this wonderful publication. And been looking at brake pedals for various twins and singles. This is a minefield. The service notes do not cover this topic. I was wondering if we could start a picture index of known pedals. Maybe useful when searching the jumbles. The reason for this is that I bought a late wideline pedal and discovered the pivot hole too small but in all other dimensions, it is identical. I believe it is for a single down tube ES2, which uses a pivot with a nut to retain the pedal.

Dominator chrome tank panels

I was wiping some old glue from the lovely chrome tank panels on my '57 Dominator, using paper towel and petrol.

I noticed that the areas I had wiped no longer had the beautiful high gloss finish.

I think that the paper towel contained fine sand which scratched the surface.  Does anyone have any idea how I can recover the original finish?
