Powdercoating is brake fluid resistant (tested).

What this forum is all about: helping each other and to enjoy our Ducatis.

Stein Dinse does and has a fuel pump.

If to expensive, I saw it was also used in Citroen BX and Peugeot 309 ... could try dealers/partssuppliers of those cars in Israel (just an option).

Good luck!

Here I've a little relief in the paint (difficult to see on this low res. pics), looks nice in reality.
Is powdercoat by the way.

Thx !

Is that the color on the left side or the rigjt side of the bike? :-)

Gerhard, Australian dollars are not US dollars.... Also: it's an example: just more or less any 2K paint will do the trick (clutch cover will become maybe 125 celcius/260 fahrenheit max. I assume and all 2K can take that). Eastwood is just a well known brand in the USA for cars & motorcyle resta...

Hi, A 2K paint should do the trick (the most chemical resistant paints). In Australia you could use Eastwood 2K Aero Spray HT Engine Paint Gloss Black. http://www.ppcco.com.au/eastwood1.html But be a little careful with brake fluid (that's really aggressive stuf). If you spil it flush it immediately...

Mc tool, Yes they are both steel, but I thought a cause could be different alloys. But in the meantime I've asked a professional welder and his first/immediate reaction was: " that is the work of a layman, most likely autogenous welded without adding any metal. Almost sure that the crack is jus...

Oh, and I don't think the springs have anything to do with it: the plate is fixed to the aluminium back pressure plate pillars once the bolts are tightened. Also checked my springs and they had all exactly the same length, 41mm. Still my steel pressure plate has 3 out of 4 welds cracked (right in th...

Andy,

If you could be so kind, aks the old man what material he used for brazing the pressure plate.
There are a couple of options there and I'm curious -as always- which one he did use.

Hey HIGHWAY89, I really love the looks of those very first Brembo street legal 4 piston brake calipers (P432d) on that Marzocchi M1R fork! :thumbup: I do have a pair of those calipers but my Paso 750 M1R fork has mounting eyes for Brembo's P08 calipers (108mm center distance) and so I need an adapte...

MC tool, You could consider brazing, the diameter of the hole is 16mm and the diameter of the "mushroom" is 20mm, so an overlap of 2mm. Should work and if it doesn't it's easy to remove the 2 parts with a "little" heat. Problem for me is that I have no idea why the weld cracked i...

Randtcastell,

THX for the efforts!
Have fun with your beautiful bike.

Marco,

Same engine, same helmet, year: 1985 !
Have still the same Dainese leather suit (1983).
Quite a few famous people there: Kenny Roberts, Franco Farnè, Fabio Taglioni, Frederico Martini (if I see it correctly).

Frank

OK Gerhard,

Thanks, it worked.
