il Crustico - '73 Moto Guzzi Eldorado Basket case Restoration
- Thread starter adventurco
- Start date
Still working on the wheels. The final drive gearbox is all ready to be reassembled, I filed down the exposed edges of the bearing carrier that connects the driveshaft to the hub and painted it gloss black
Moto Guzzi used stainless steel spokes and brass nipples on these bikes which is just awesome. I soaked the nipples in muriatic acid to remove the corrosion and tarnish, after a run through the parts washer.
Threaded them onto a spoke and hit them with a quick polish. They clean up awesome.
Got all the nipples done and about 1/4 of the spokes.
Bead blasted the new hoops and the front needs some sanding still as it has quite a few dings and dents.
