S1g 579 #27 Posted December 23, 2015 I had a local firm make the decals for my other power packs , and was very pleased with the end results. However after getting pi*%^d about scince July with the ones for this machine I have resorted to making them myself using off the shelf labels. Just waiting for the Panther animal sticker to come in from the states and have got to get a fine needle to pierce the couple of air bubbles. 2 Stormin and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have a slightly better one in my store, not perfect but should suffice until I can turn up a couple of better condition ones. The Paint is now dry on the chasis, I fitted the end caps and tried to fit the wheels, unfortunately they were too long for the axle so had to be thinned down with the grinder. The tin work off the engine has been soaked in paint stripper, then run over with a flap disc, now ive got the time consuming job of filling all the dents and pitting, still its easier than stripping the Nylon coating off the jcb's.

It's a combination I think of the harsh environment that it's run in and the good old health and safety tightening up on regulations meaning what was left got exported to 3rd world countries.
