Thanks Mick, horrible little things. I reckon bread pudding would be nice with just the bread.

Sorry Steve, but you kinda started it :wink: I'll say no more.

Mmmmm, the twin spots are under review, it'll still be twins, but I need to fit my dished Cibies in them. The Triumph cases ain't big enough & just look too 'Triumph' :??
They also need to be mounted fairly low when fixed to the frame, so the bars will clear them. The other option is to hang them off of the forks, but having all that lot swinging about with the steering ain't exactly appealing. :|

Mr Bear,

What were the results of the fuel tank de-rusting formula? I'd be very interested to see :lol:

Results were excellent, just not easy to photo with a mobile phone. :oops:

Dropped off all the bodywork & wheels with Hutchy today, which was all going well until he stood on me dogs tail, which ended with the dog having a chomp at Hutchy's leg. :rir :rir
Sadly for me, I think the price may now have gone up. :roll:

Just found this;

Didn't really take it as a 'before', but it should give an idea of how good Keiths potion is.

That looks excellent!

I presume the mixture doesn't do paintwork any good?

Is there a recommended toilet cleaner to use?

Geoff, 'every little helps' :lol: Hope you got your goodies too!

Wheelysteve, the important thing is, it's a limescale remover, as opposed to regular bleach. The other thing I must do is give credit to KeithZ1R, it's his recipie.

If it goes :boom :boom it's still Keiths recipie. :bla

As far as cleaning fuel tanks goes, I tried a couple of things, first I tried electrolysis or whatever it's called, bit of washing soda and a battery charger which did give pretty good results but you always think you can do a bit better so had a look on the net and discovered......Spirit of Salts, it's a drain cleaner that mainly comprises of hydrochloric acid (nasty).
The result? Clean as a whistle, I'd recommend it to anyone but wear gloves etc and use baking soda to neutralise the acid and make sure you put some oil in the tank straight away cos it'll start going rusty again within the hour.
