I have a working one with a dent in the case $40 inc shipping if you're interested. |
Thanks man. I may take you up on that. I want to see if I can borrow a local
one to get past the inspection for the DMV. Then I'll send the original one
off to be rebuilt. The wife is still reeling from the amount of money and
time I have spent thus far. I have to lay low for a couple months.
If someone else wants to nab it, don't wait on me. sell it.
| Mine did that, but was better when the gasket was replaced. The bad thing about rattel can paint is that it is not gas proof. The good thing is that it sure makes it easy to touch up. Duplicolor makes a clearcoat for steel wheels that is absolutely gas proof. Not sure about compatability with the paint you used, but it might be worth a test.. |
think to measure the THICKNESS of the gasked I replaced. I was so worried
about the material coming apart when in contact with gas, I didn't think
about that. damn. any how, I had this thick pink rubber sheet that I have
used before on beemer gas caps. I forgot I had it. It worked great.
I masked off the area that was stained, cleaned it with a scrub pad and 600
grit. Sprayed a light coat of paint. removed the mask and sprayed with
clear. then waxed. looks okay. thin ghost lines where the worst of the gas
run was and another where the mask was. no big deal.

| I expect you know how to fix this one... |
Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not real knowledgable about fixing the guzzie forks.
On the beemer, you loosen the clamps and axle nuts and bounce the front end.
That usually lines things up. Suggestions are welcome.
Congrats!! |
Pics are on the way
