TUF NECK RESTO

[Swivel]

Hello lads, picked this up for £20 at the weekend and it doesn't look too bad. But, its missing that fooking big bolt to the back of the stem. I want the overall look of this to be polished so can I do this polishing myself? Stripping it is no probs but what can I used to polish it? That missing bolt thingy is worrying, so can anyone help with that also? I heard you can get some tuf neck rebuild kits or something... Will hope to eventually go on a show bike, my new GT f/f which is also posted in this tech resto section. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Also make sure the chunky bolt is a Tuf Neck one with coarse threads , the Pro Neck are fine threads   ( I think that's round the right way ! ) .

Ok cheers for that, will have to keep hunting. Got a polishing kit already, so will get this puppy stripped once my Gen 1 has had a good going over with the foil/coke trick

I can get the big bolt in chrome or black  if you need one, got a nice one on my blue Tuf Neck, also polished or black bolts too  .  LMK and I can get you a price.  I've also been toying with getting a few wedges made up in alloy if anyone is interested  .

Marty, deffo interested in the chrome bolt, let me know as soon as so I can sort out this auction! Thanks Matt
