Not a bad restoration but I would have done a few things differently. I'm not sure black was a great colour for a miners lamb... orange or yellow maybe but I'd check to see what colour they were originally. Soldering the wires to the screw terminals seemed a bit excessive. Gold leaf looks pretty but I might have tried to get the reflector plated, even on a potentially rough surface it would be better than gold IMHO. Also, sand blasting can be very destructive... citric acid can be quicker and easier.

Just a few of my observations but what do you guys think?

 

Those are some good points and I also wondered why he put gold leaf on a reflector.

 

Hey @ColinG, don’t you know that black lambs matter!

 

Jean, I genuinely laughed out loud! Honestly what would we do without autocorrect to brighten our day?

After watching this video I will feel a complete idiot when I will be proud of myself after fettling a stove or lamp…

If I only had 1/50 of his skills…

Thanks for sharing,

Nicola

 

You are welcome Nicola and that motorcycle certainly was well fettled.
