Title: Quick Tuf Neck restoration
Post by: snav69 on October 18, 2012, 12:22 PM: Had the bottom for a while and finally came across a top cap this week :)

But they where 2 different colours :crazy2: and both had bits of damage :buck2: So out with the over pride and some different grades of sandpaper and after and hour or so I'm left with a stem I can now use 8)

Not a bad idea that. Close to the original clear anodised finish as well.

Nice work Snav. :4_17_5:
