Re: My SF31 Restoration Blog
Mid December 2011:
The restoration must go on; Christmas Shopping is not going to get in the way
Frame etc all back from the shot blaster and with a light coat of etch primer. I was worried about the state of the frame, there was some quite significant visible pitting through the old paint. But it is not nearly as bad as I had feared, so no work here thank goodness:
And I got my toolboxes back yesterday from the leather man. Very nice! I supplied the two side ones and he provided leather and paint. For the cross-frame one, I supplied plastic / cardboard pattern and his tin man made one; leather man then did the rest.

Re: My SF31 Restoration Blog
Lovely job Paul
I have to say though that I'm surprised you need three tool boxes; sure you're not going to slip a 500 cammy engine in the frame..
Looking forward to seeing the bike on the road
Cheers

Re: My SF31 Restoration Blog
Matteo, I'll take the measurements tomorrow and post here on the Forum.
Huw, I'm trying to work out the hidden meaning in this. Is the assumption that the 500 Cammy engine needs so many more tools to keep it going compared to a single? Or that you need to carry 4x as many spark plugs etc Or something else? BTW: I have a Cammy .huw.parsons wrote: I have to say though that I'm surprised you need three tool boxes; sure you're not going to slip a 500 cammy engine in the frame..

No hidden meaning; yes and yes. I remember you giving me some very sound advice when I got my 500 cammy a few years back about reliability. I reckon
you need more stuff to keep a cammy going if you use it as the maker intended. I'm not sure if you saw mine, but once run in I had a chair
on it that was full of tools/oil/ spares (and Wali Taylor at times). The centre toolbox housed the external coil for the magneto. No carrier though.
It's weird seeing an identical bike apart from the engine which is oh so very different.
