Slowly starting to look something like a bike again! Swingarm & suspension installed, all new bushes & bearings. Forks stripped, cleaned, new oil & seals. Various parts stripped and painted Frame, swingarm, fairing frame, stands powdercoated. 20201231_161530 by Simon, on Flickr 20201231_161657 by Simon, on Flickr 20201231_161814 by Simon, on Flickr

Hi all, looking for advice pls.👍
Just refitting the ignition coil. Notice it has bare metal on both bolded ends.
Does the frame need to be bare metal at the bolt locations too to make an earth or something?

Thanks guys 👍.. I'm really enjoying the resto. Small detail of not started engine strip yet!..thats phase 2. I'm planning to keep the original paint as much as I can as it just gives it that look of age, and a few minor dings are battle scars 🤣 its generally not too bad. I will need to paint the headlight fairing red though as has fair bit of damage and scuff which is under repair!
