Rims and Spokes

Stainless steel rims, spokes and nipples arrived this week. Thanx to Len from British Classics in the Cape. The workmanship is very good and we are impressed by the quality. New bearings also arrived in the parcel. So now we have all the wheel parts. Now need to cut the old hubs free and re-paint them.

Nacelle

Found a new Nacelle, great find. The original nacelle was badly bent so this is most welcome :-).

Steering Damper Knob

Steering damper knob is in quite a bad condition - tried some brushing and polishing - brought out some bling in it!

Wheels

Started looking at the wheels - they are an important part of getting to a rolling chassis!

Generally just very rusted, but fortunately still in tacked so measurements can be taken

before dismantling them. Took the rear bearings out - they are a bit "warn through".

Here are some pics.

110 in the movies

Haven't been doing to much on the bike lately - hopefully that will change soon. Came across the following webpage listing all the apearances of a T110 in the movies - mostly during the early 60's. Here is the link. (hav'nt heard of most of these movies :-) )
