Hi Yogi, That looks lovely fella. The Lc2 is my favourite PV. I had an Lc2 for a time and loved it. The engine looks nice, and I can see why you want an Lc stator case What pipes are you going for ? Dusty

Love those pipes. I think the cans look good too - a bit different to the norm.

Hi mate I bought a kit off eBay,you just take the grinding wheel off and bolt a mandrel on the shaft, Then you can swap them easily,just put metal polishing kit in the search on eBay Cheers Matt

Hi mate I bought an ultrasonic cleaner from Hong Kong a year ago for £89. It only does one carb at a time,but it does do a good job I was gonna do a little thread on how I polished the cases but didn't think anyone would be interested I might do one now,its a lot quicker than people think with a bench grinder

Hi Yogi, I had a polished stainless tuning fork disc on my old hybrid; Maybe not everyones cup of tea but I liked it. Norbo sells something a bit like it I think. Dusty
