I've found someone in the states who does the original white popper ones with Redline or Carrera on!
Not original but repro will do until (if) I find some real ones.

 :daumenhoch:

Jim , your F+F looks 85ish so the popper pads would be too old , you need the grey/black ones  :daumenhoch: . My PL20 was sold to Darren on here who shifted it on elsewhere .

Like these  :daumenhoch:

Mat, can we date the frames from the serial numbers?

Matt, I know but want to do it to the original style. I'm gonna change the decals and get the older pads. A bit uncouth but I want it to replicate the one I missed BITD. I am gonna be using it (to race too, thanks to MK). So not worried about it being a younger frame dressed in older threads.

Hey Tony ,

There is probably a thread somewhere here in Resto which outlines the letters (in the serial numbers) that correspond to years of manufacture :daumenhoch:

Or someone else might re-post it .

GMACs is a nice one to find... if you can, £150-200ish for frame & fork set


I paid alot more than that, by the the time I had it rechromed, and added new decals  :-[
