It`s painful to see no single aluminium part where the paint hasn`t bubbled from oxidation. :oops: The ground connections don`t look much better. I hope the other electrical contacts do. G. Yeah,it's a shame G but it's fixable with some time and effort and I'm in no hurry.I don't know how people ca...

CLR is quicker and still bio safe
POR-15 has a lot of things work even quicker that are enviornmentally freindly

Thanks Higgy,another option to consider .

I read somewhere about spacers in the right hand side engine mounts?.What is that all about? Cheers Andrew The early models did not have the spacers on the right hand side between the engine and the frame. the later models did, which allowed the used of later 6 speed motors in the same frame.

"paso750"In case the RGV250 frontend is a swap (which I know nothing about, not having a Sport) I wonder if it can be used as is as the Sport is quite a bit heavier. (128 vs. 195kg) G. I think the RGV front end would be strong enough but the springs would have to be upgraded.Also the whee...

Are there any other Sports that have a rebuild report on here somewhere.Would be interesting to read. I don`t think so. This was one attempt but unfortunately this topic wasn`t continued. http://forums.ducatipaso.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3829 Thanks G,I'll check it out.One question I have.does ...

I've thought about putting that extra strut in but thought I would get away without painting it.Looks like ...

With all that you have in your shed, you know quite well what you have bought into. it looks like you have all the parts, now it just needs a bit (a lot) of lo...
