Yellow !The colour is good. Just need a good clean up ! :daumenhoch:
-
a clean in the dish washer will be fine - just don't add any bleaching agents or any salt - they may loose a touch of colour so not too hot a wash (that is only for dying after)
a good wash should get in nearly all of the hair lines and clean them out ;)

Nice one Bendy, knew you'd come to the rescue. :daumenhoch:

A guy on super scrimpers was cleaning outside patio furniture with a couple of finish dishwasher tablets in hot water and gave the plastic chairs a good scrub. Could be worth a go.

Been in the dishwasher with tesco's everyday value tab's. Come up a treat, just a bit of brake rub to remove now.

Going on a survivor/rider anyway so no need for perfection ! :daumenhoch:

Bendycat, you don't happen to possess a couple of spare washer/cone nuts for these do you ?
Or know where I can get a spindle kit for one.
Cheers. :daumenhoch:

Funny you should ask ;D

Right i have been resto'ing some of my hubs with a rebuild kit that i have - i have got a load of hubs/axles in and i take them apart and clean them up, they can be used to rebuild most standard hubs.
I have rebuilt up sets of Alloy hubbed Skyway mags with the cup bearings holders (not sealed bearing hubs) - you can replace most cup race bearing holder type mags and spoked wheels - although some might not fit so you will have to check first.
you can replace the axle to a standard fit size nut that is on a 10mm axle.
so i can do you a 10mm axle - a caged bearing race - cone nuts that go against the bearings - the washer nut that sits tight next the cone nut - a bobble washer - a outside nut.
here is what the kit looks like

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/tt183/ELEVENTEENBENDYCAT/bmx%20parts%20to%20sell/SNC18476.jpg)
So you get
2x axle in black - 138mm long 10mm wide - standard thread size (not skyway size, so won't fit skyway nuts on)
4x caged bearing race in silver- 24mm across - 6mm deep - strong and well made.
4x cone nuts in black with removable skirt/shield, just tap it off or move up and down for a better fit - 17mm across 14mm deep on cone nut - 24mm across 2mm deep on shield.
4x washer nut in silver - 16mm across - 3mm deep
4x bobble washer in silver (well what would you call it ?) 16mm across - 2mm deep
4x outer nut in silver - 15mm across - 14mm deep

If you want a kit it will do both wheels - but please check rear drop out size of axle, as some can be wide (you can use your own rear axle with this kit if you need to fit wider )
i can sell a single half kit for one wheel if needed
kits will not be broken up for sale of individual parts
price's are
£10 posted for a kit (this is for two wheels)
£5 posted for a half kit (for one wheel )
if i get loads of members wanting this item, it may take a little while to sort the first load out - i have work and other members mags to restore + need to sleep and eat at some point !
please post in here and then a pm - if i don't get both you will miss out
they may not fit all, that is why i have given sizes - so please realize I'm not perfect, just trying to help
