Hi Jim,
I am really interested in the rubber suspension bits that you had made – mine are cracking badly.
Could you supply the email address of the guy who did them please. I am guessing that you had to send him the metal parts already painted and ready to go so he can stick the rubber to them or did you fit the rubber first and then paint them?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Great stuff. I have a 501 ready for a resto also, and am planning on stripping and painting the undercarriage myself. Good to see someone else’s efforts as an inspiration.
Will see how rubber etc looks once I get into it, may give it a burst over Easter…

Douglas is restoring the NZeta and is based in Auckland and has just sent in the pics and stuff for his rebuild. I was lucky enough to catch up with him when I was up there a while ago but he wasn’t this far on with it, so great progress.

He showed me a BSA Bantam that he had restored over 2 years and that was in mint condition so I’m looking forward to see what he does with the NZeta.

The suspension blocks are new and were done by a man Douglas found locally. He can replace the rubber and bond it to the metal strip for a reasonable price. I will send you his email address if you want to get a quote. Looks like he does a pretty good job.

Please send me some photos and a description of what you are doing with your projects so I can add them here for others to see.

cheers,

Jim

Your rubber suspension parts look new – did you have some NOS items, or get them from overseas. I have a couple of scoots that are getting closer to the workbench!
