Thanks guys, that’s very helpful, and they more or less match which is a good sign ?

Sorry it’s a 1958 Birmingham Scott

[Russell]

That’s disappointing having just paid a fortune to have it repaired 🙁

[Russell]

So what am I supposed to do ! and what do others do ?

[Russell]

Good question, but what’s the alternative ? Quality Chrome say they can’t do it 🙁

[Russell]

Thanks Brian, that’s a coincidence I’ve just emailed them 😀

[Russell]

Finished repainting, and they look good, lets see how they cope with the heat when I get her back together.

Thanks I’ll try that

[Russell]

Northern Radiators have said it will need a new core, which will be in the order of £600, which may also damage the chrome, so it may need re chroming. I’ve no idea how/if I could source another one, and whether that would be cheaper, can anyone help?

Is yacht varnish up to the high temperatures ?

[Russell]

As HMG no longer produce the magenta glass lacquer, and I don’t want to have to take the barrel off again to spray it, can anyone recommend an alternative brush on finish to use ?

[Russell]

I’ve now fitted the A Reg Six regulator and LED bulbs from Paul Goff at https://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/ and all working fine, lets see if the battery lasts a bit longer 🙄

[Russell]

Thanks, I’m near Leeds so I might try Northern Radiators, has anyone else used them ?

[Russell]

That was useful, definitely nothing on the bottom of the case, but there does feel as though there is a hole where the side mount goes. So is it possible to convert to a rear mount, and is it a specialist job?

[Russell]

I can’t see any spindles, so guess it must be a non trip case 😕
