Bit harsh on the seat clamp, I've had NOS in the bag ones that have the same depth on the stamp.... something to do with the curvature and type of stamping I was led to believe. Be honest the E is barely defined on that one prior to polishing

True about the light stamping , had one sometime back like it . A gentle wet/dry/light solvol and it looked better but was still legible .

tuf neck seat clamps polished??? don't do it!!! heat up really quickly makes them very soft writing just disappears $:-\$ if you do soft pad very lightly

Shame

chrome plate square cornered tuff necks are pretty rare and that has been polished to death , losing half the tigers head and the edges

to me its like spraying a rs2000 purple , some may like a non stock RS but to me its got to be original finish , its the law

Rich

Maybe not law but pretty close to it, ruined IMHO

.

Nearly as bad as painting Skyway Tuff II's

You could maybe trade that one for a full fat one

, they mostly used on mini's and the like .
