Just realised I read the ton of Mg in a cubic mile of seawater thing in the encyclopaedias that my Dad bought for me and my brother when we started big school!
Ha ha what are they worth now? I still have the full set.
I loved the Gold Zinc Chromate paint on the AJS 7R and Matchless G50 timing covers. It's no accident that the timing covers on my Monster are Gold.
Thanks to Rob I have now sourced the colour I was looking for in the first place 11 years ago, and I will painting them in Ducati Magnesium Gold very soon.
Also knew the bloke who made Mg guitars and basses with Magnesium bodies and interchangeable necks. Pat Townsend was his name. He made the trumpet shaped drum kits too and also his Staccato range of Ducati bodywork.
