So the plastic turn signal knob on the metal lever broke, and it doesn't look like they make a replacement, does that seem correct? The turn signal and brights still work so I don't really want to go through the hassle of replacing the whole unit.
We originally did the Rust Bullet and now I have to sand it off which is a P.I.T.A.!!! In addition that stuff oxidized where the frame was exposed to sun. Hopefully the new paint system we have is good. Everyone seems to use POR15, but I'll get back to yall with picks of how it finally ends up...
Well, I tried to persuade pops, but he's not budging, says that blasting is too much effort. I'll have to make sure to invest in some good wire wheels and cups as well as some heaving duty sanding discs. Also, as most of yall have been thru this, did you brush or spray your frame? I just can't...
