S3 TV Project
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:58 pm
Currently working on a series 3 TV, had it a couple of years, had some major issues with the strip due to the condition of some parts - piston in barrel seize etc - seriously seized took immense heat and some serious smacks to get out. Lots of bits are fine, and going to restore pretty much to standard spec, may go with slightly different colour, more grey?
Anyway, no doubt i'll be on here asking stuff as I go, my first biggie is finding a replacement barrel - it's already had a few oversizes and has some damage as well as oversize port holes - think something a little cleaner might be a wise move - why does no-one do a TV175 remade barrel and piston kit?
Got the switch gear boxed up ready to send to Jem Booth to test, seriously think it was used and abused as a farm bike - some of the bodges looked very rural.
