inazumarob Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Guys, I have just collected all the bits back from the powder coaters for my EFE build. Here are some pictures. 12 Quote Link to comment
jensvonbustenskjold Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Very cool! Nice red top =) Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 The red is a light wrinkle/ crackle finish. Quote Link to comment
Muddy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nice gold too - what colour is that? Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Not sure of colour, I am seeing the powder coaters this week, I will ask. They are lacquered over the top of the powder coat. Powder coaters are 25 miles away. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) What's the black piece next to the footrest hangers? Not familiar. Unless it's a cut off piece of hanger? What's it's use? Edited April 30, 2019 by Swiss Toni Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi Toni, not sure which piece you are referring to, top left piece is part of rear suspension linkage, bottom left is front engine mount bracket, middle right is alloy bracket which holds foot peg at bottom of the frame rail.

What's it's use? As you said it looks like a piece cut off a footrest hanger, the back of the hanger below in the photo matches it perfectly. had me puzzled too. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 @inazumarobThe piece directly below the TSCC emblem on the cam cover. Did you buy the bike in boxes, by any chance? Might have been a modification by the PO? Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think that it is standard part Toni, I think that there is one on the other frame that I have. I will look properly next time down at garage I am renting. Not near where I live, may be tomorrow. I bought a rolling chassis complete and part was on there already, it was a while ago since I took it apart, so need to look at other frame. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Looks like the PO cropped the pillion part of the left hand hanger off, more likely. Edited April 30, 2019 by Swiss Toni Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 1. I spoke to the powder coaters about the gold on the wheels. He said it was a non standard custom colour that he made up for me to brighten it up. He has some left if any one wants something in the same colour. 2. I want to get an EFE clutch cover powder coated, but I need to remove the oil level window and the clutch shaft in the cover as heat will ruin the rubber parts. Has any one got any tips about doing this please. Many thanks Rob Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Find a socket slightly smaller than the glass, push the glass from the outside. Push, nice steady pressure ... it'll move. Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Got the glass out, held in with a smear of silicone, so had to clean that off. Used a big socket on one side and a g clamp with a smaller socket to push glass out. Clutch shaft and bearings just tapped out once I removed top seal. Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Due to time restraints, and trying to save some money for things with a higher priority, I have cleaned up the rear caliper and painted it myself. I decided that any money I saved could be better used elsewhere. Caliper bodies were soaked in Harpic Plus 10 to loosen paint, cleaned and then resoaked overnight to clean out corrosion. Painted then lacquered, I will have to see how well it stands up on use. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What colour Gold, Rob? I used Ford Harvest Gold. Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi Toni, I used a gold from my local Homebase. Part of their Painters Touch range. £5.99 Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Here are some pictures of the paint can. Quote Link to comment
wrx03ppp Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not much paint or laquer stands up to brake fluid but I’ve had good results with VHT caliper paint. The satin black looks great but they don’t do a gold. Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 @inazumarobI'll have a wander over to my local Homebase with a caliper. See how it compares. Quote Link to comment

inazumarob Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Started putting together the brake caliper now the rebuild kit arrived. Had to replace 1 piston anyway due to corrosion. Quote Link to comment
