Tops - it looks as though so many parts are original. I like the steering wheel resto, I was asking about that and sanding it last week down here. So thx for that demo.

Excellent!



BTW: on the double leading shoe front brakes, some of the early SIIa Forward Controls had a bracket on the housing the same as the SIII and then the bundy pipe went to the bottom cylinder.  Then a second pipe to the top cylinder and the bleed nipple was at the top.  This way any air in the cylinders will rise to the top cylinder and bleed out.  Normally with the bleed at the bottom you are always fighting gravity with remaining air.
