thanks once again m8,
just trying to get enough paper as poss befor i ask you guys what grit to start and finish with...havent decided what part of my ride i will start with..might decide on the primary chain cover,but i will ask when that time comes,i have ordered my 1st set of wheels 8'' and i will slowly increase them depending on how good i am with sneakin' money away from the wife..looking at compound prices now.i am definately taking it slow,i can prep the parts but i want to have all the tools,its all money starting off.iwas going to start on the carb i mentioned in another thread but thats intricate and i havent a dremel,i know a loose wheel will do alot of the polishing in tight spots,but sanding in the tight areas will test me,any advice m8.
catchya soon m8.
take care

grommit,

One way to do it is the use a Dremel with a 1/2" buff and some greaseless compound. Or you can cut some wood sticks and wrap the sandpaper around them and go-for-it. Some jewelry supply houses have smaller buffs which might be worth checking out.

thanks m8,i'll have a hunt in my garage for my dremel if its there,but if ya have kept up with my threads its a battle to what part of my bike i start with as i havent got all the tools etc,one minute i want to start on this and then that..i go on the forum and you guys put me right on any problem,so until i get that specific tool i go onto another part......i knew i should of just bought as much of the kit as possible b4 i asked..ha ha
but the grit grading in UK and USA still throws me.

thanks m8
