Did'nt realise there was such a problem

Further to

I have used another concern via Ebay in the past as follows:

If you go to their Products tab, and then Military paints, it will give you a list of different paints and these tabs will take you direct to their Ebay links. Have used it to good affect on the Land Rover.

They will also make up paint to match a part you send them. I sent a new handlebar mount to them. They said

We have matched the panel for you, and it is RAL6020, so if you order te paint through ebay in the gloss level you require, and just put in the notes to seller when confirming payment that you need RAL6020, I will make a note at my end then when the order comes through I will make sure we make the paint in the RAL for you.

I will send the piece back with the paint for you.

RAL6020 is a pretty good match to MT350 original colour

Flipping heck my LtWt was 09 GT 58.. i know you fitted the 8 banger but is it possible to hand crank the 2 1/4 with the NATO front mounted.. I had to hand crank the LTWT a few times but didnt have a front hitch.

anyway back to bikes before i get shouted at again

the MT is looking great. Think ill be getting out the paint brush soon.

Hi, looks like your MT is in the right hands. Whats next after the paint job., From what we can see off the Land Rover that looks tidy as well. Any chance of some pictures in the Land Rover section of the forum.

I think I still have a crank handle in the garage... think the postage would be more than the cost lol

With it running well at the moment, I'm trying to resist going mad and restoring it

sounds like you need another one as a restore project!...

and so it happens to us all....

This would be ideal for you, you obviously like restoring bikes and Land Rovers

You could have got one of my LED upgrade kits... I notice the lever on the front brake is a little low. the 'best' setup position is to have it at rest 90degrees to the fork leg.

Minivin,
I have thought about modifing the brake drum lever length,to improve front brake.
Do you know if it would nead to be shorter and if so by how much ?
