    Thanks Andreas.

    I have enough nuts for the motor (And a couple others) but I spent a lot of time polishing this motor and installing lots of stainless on it. SHINE and long lasting shine are the keys I'm looking for here.

    I polished mine all up and Simichromed them and they looked great... until it rained Friday and they rusted up again. It took quite a bit of rubbing to get them somewhat cleaned up again and I don't want to do that every time it gets wet.

      I got real lucky with that Hardley dealer. A year later the shop burned down. Maybe he upset the Hardley Gods by carrying metric hardware?

          And while I'm at it, anyone have a pair of carb tops (Diaphram cover) for the outside 2 carbs that the chrome is in good shape on? Mine aren't bad, but I would like better. PM me if you're interested in selling or swapping.

            Does anyone know of a supplier of either Chrome, or Stainless steel for the washers under the acorn head nuts? They are 10m which is 11mm X @22mm O/S diameter and 3mm thick.

            Bikebandit shows the originals are still available, but I figure they will rust after a while also.
