Right fork leg apart

Progress last night

Painted brake pedal in the new right peg assembly. Nice match – in color and texture/sheen – for original anodized surfaces on the bike.  Used Rustoleum automotive gray primer and Rustoleum metallic matte nickel paint.  Will also use for lower fork legs and probably other bike parts as we go.

Progress today

Disassembled right fork leg. Cleaned parts. Sanded, degreased, primed, and painted right fork lower.  Re-painted left lower to match.

Will reassemble both forks after paint has 48hrs to harden.  Also need to slot a 2′ length of 1.5″ pvc pipe to fit tubes to use as a bush/seal driver.
