well i got three mx 1000's that are in need of some resto work i was going to get them powdercoated in gloss black but the only trouble i have is the quick release mechanism

Is there any way i can remove this and refit once its coated or am i wasting my time

SteveG:
I have a similar problem although I have already removed the quick release to do a Potts mod.  Depending on what you need to do to strip them in the first place it might just be possible to mask the quick release up. The powder coaters I have had stuff done at use high temperature tape for masking.

I am hoping that I can remake the rivit that holds it all on although I haven't got it anymore to use as a pattern. If I cant rivit it I will try using a small domed allen head bolt to attach it.

There was a thread on here a whilre ago about it, can't remember if there were any solutions.

miggs:
thats what i was thinking about domed head but was wondering if anyone had done anything different

greentoad:
Hi





Sand off the head and re-bolt. You can get these bolts, washers and nuts from cycle shops.

Hope this helps.
