Yea, I was wondering what might be involved in fitting the TTR style plastics, anybody tried it? The only place I have seen them available to buy is from Pitster Pro's website.

looks gr8 adam !!
The process starts with a 'Flap wheel' on a drill. You need to be carefull not to be to harsh with it though as you will end up with deep scratches that take a lot of sanding out..
Next it is rubed back progressively with 240, 400, 600, 800 and finally 1200 wet and dry paper.
Once its smooth as a babys bum, it gets a go with some metal polish and a buff. This has been done 3 times sofar.
Im supprised at the quality of the alloy in these frames with no sign of porosity what so ever. A sign of poorly made aluminium components is always small porous holes. The weld quality is also quite amazing.

Thanks m8te ... shes got a ways to go yet.
It probably looks better with the raw welds but, its difficult to get a smooth finish right beside the welds without making it look grooved. Ideally the components would have been polished prior to welding.
Ok, after much grinding, sanding and polishing the rebuild has begun.
Rockstar graphics will go in favour of some custom designed graphics.
Engine is in bits and awaiting a balance and blueprint. Also some match porting.

I paid $200 for mine. It is a very good quality frame.
Yea, tell me about it. I recon ive spent over 10 hours on it sofar.
I wouldnt recomend that anyone in-experienced grind the welds smooth though as its very easy to get it wrong. I used to work in an allow wheel factory, and worked in the rework area for a while so I have a fair bit of experience at reshaping.
I havent polished the inside surfaces so it shouldnt be too hard to keep clean and shiney.
Final polishing is done with a car buff which makes it easier.

One problem I have now is putting a foot brake lever on this frame.
It appears the setup off my old frame wont fit the BBR style frame. And it didnt come with one.
Anyone tell me what will fit ? I was thinking maybe one of these
But how does the spring work on these ??? And will they fit ???
