well the plate has gone to work they have tried copper sulphate type acid solution with electric current with brings up the numbers, they say they have recovered a 4 but are struggling so i said they could try heat but to photogrpah it first. we will wait and see i guess.
i have ordered some pullers to get the hub off so waiting for that. managed to rip my boiler suit (which was wrecked anyway) so went onto ebay and found a nice olive crewmans suite so paid a few pennies and got that, popped my grandads Div flashes on it when it came , just to keep in with the theme
used one of Kevins NOS fenders to make a pair as mine were wrecked, just need to drill the holes they are direct reproductions using same gauge steel etc etc.
I can create more of these if people require, they will come with holes or without and will be red oxide primed (if anyone needs some)
i have read the thread on posting pics, i cant seem to get my imgaes like a film strip which most you guys do, i used the add image on the reply box, but it still brings them up as i have been doing.
