Hi everyone.
Thought I would share this one with you for what it's worth.
I had a lot of plastic caps left over after I fitted my new Kitchen and thought of a use for them. They fit over the heads of the Phillips screw heads to tidy the units up after construction.
I have used them to tidy up some of the heads of Allen studs on the bike.
1). First find ones that fit into the holes of the Allen studs you want to cover even if they don't fit snug a little waterproof sealer putty or paper tack (Blue-Tack) the stuff that does not set can be added on fitting.
2). Push them into some of the putty type stuff previously mentioned. This is to stop them blowing away when you spray them.
3). Spray on some metallic paint or whatever colour you like, this stuff I used is supposed to be chrome. (No way is it chrome but it is a good alloy colour). Allow to dry and fit to bike.
The horrid black bits on the engine are corn flies, they get everywhere this time of year.
Best Wishes. Neil.
