One of the worst parts on this Gem is the condition of the rear rotor covers. The fold where the two main covers meet is missing as is the rear soil flap. They could be repaired but to get looking real right would probably take me weeks. Another option is to purchase a new set off Standen's however these come in at nearly £300 a set! In-keeping with my strict budget for this project, Ive dug out a second hand set off a Dowdeswell 650 that I broke up a few years ago. (this machine had a knackered gearbox so I sold the engine for more than I paid for the whole machine so these covers don't owe me a penny). Tonight Ive started the laborious task of stripping the paint off them. I also treated the rust with some prep and ready that I purchased off Frost a few years back, its the best rust killer that ive ever found.

Got an old gem Gareth which has had £500 spent on rebuilding the JAP engine. Got to pick it up sum when as the tyres are totaly shot. App the engine was put back on after the rebuild. Ran like a bomb & then the rotor clutch started slipping. Mate drove it into the shed 15 years ago & its never moved since!!
