Moved to tank decided to take it back to bare copper, see what it looks like, got rid of most of the paint after hours of sanding and probably breathing lead based dust :roll: .

I can't make up my bloody mind. found a tiller arm that was painted black and sanded it back also and the collar for the exhaust is bronze but cover in the dreaded silver paint

My first Seagull was an LLS with a brass tank. It was the bare brass tank that lead me to buy it!

My everyday gull (yeah right!) is an AD with bare brass round tank.

Go brass 8)
