Nice work on that rear wheel.
How long did it take to complete both wheels?

One more - hot to polish the fuel tank cap. No idea how to do this in case it's possible.

Re: got me polish on nc29
I've done mine in the past. I used an 8" bench grinder with mops. The only issue I had was getting a good finish on the little grooves around the outside of it. Other than that, quite easy. A good tip for preparation before polishing is remove paint/anodising/coating with acid or caustic soda - very quick and easy. Otherwise, you can just use the bench grinder to tear through it with the mops on.PARUS wrote:One more - hot to polish the fuel tank cap. No idea how to do this in case it's possible.
I don't polish much these days though - too much upkeep. Everyone knows that black is the new polished
