\nThe fuel tank has also come back from rust removal. Just like the floor, the ceiling is important too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nI was worried that the internal partition might prevent it from working properly, but it made a remarkable recovery. I’m glad it worked out.<\/p>\n

\"p1620476\"
\nIt’s amazing how it could rust this badly. I wonder if it was stored near the coast.<\/p>\n

\"p1620478\" \"p1620479\"\"p1620483\"
\nWe’ll replace things like the pad pins. The dirt cleaned up surprisingly well on the surface.
\nThe piston operation was fine too.<\/p>\n

\"p1620490\" \"p1620491\"
\nShould we replace the petcock?<\/p>\n

\"p1620492\"
\nThe cap might be okay…<\/p>\n

\"p1620494\"
\nThis won’t work. If we cut corners here, rust will fall from the ceiling to the floor again.<\/p>\n

\"p1620495\"
\nThe upper cowl has cracked through, so we’ll repair it.<\/p>\n

\"p1620501\"
\nNo amount of FRP layering at a single point would hold. I fabricated a stainless steel chin-hook mounting plate.<\/p>\n

\"p1620505\"
\nWe’ll secure it with push rivets like this. Then we just need to secure the face from the outside and we’re good.<\/p>\n

\"p1620496\" \"p1620499\" \"p1620498\" \"p1620497\"
\nThese parts are in such a sad state, so we’ll polish them and restore them to a condition we can love.<\/p>\n

\"p1620502\" \"p1620504\" \"p1620503\"
\nClean is best. Let me compile all the necessary work and create an estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
