A Bit of Advice to Projects

If you are planning a frame getting powdercoated or sprayed up you may like me have the problem of frame number dissappears. What seems to have happpened to mine was the shotblasting has taken most of the dotmatrix lettering away so its almost flat.

Right first of DONT worry about it if it happens. My MoT guy was gutted I had tryed to reveal the frame numbers and ruined the paint job. He told me they dont need to see frame numbers for an MoT.He was well impressed with the bike as it is now and it passed without a hitch other than one indicator decided not to work ( bulb contact needed bending a bit)

He said its a joy to see bikes to come in that are clean and looked after. I always make a bit of an effort to present vehicles clean. I have to sort out my daughters 106 now so we will see.

I even kept the Termis on and was a tad worried if he said were too loud. Nothing said at all.
Oh for the headlamp that used to direct the wrong way was fine a I reversed the deflector over winter.
