Contact info would be appreciated. An email address would be great! I have seen aluminum tanks on ebay, but the original look of the machine is lost with them. They are expensive and would be my 2nd choice. I know that original tank and fenders can't be used except for display.
I bought an AJS 18cs at the same auction. It had been used as a dirt bike. The piston was also stuck, with a lot of white corrosion on it, and debris in there. We got it freed up yesterday with considerable beating and Kroil. We might get away with a hone and new rings. I originally thought that the AJS would be the more difficult of the 2 to free up, and it wasn't that bad so I'm hopeful the Greeves will cooperate too. The AJS had a very heavy duty piston. Is the Greeves piston strong/heavy duty or do I need to be gentle freeing it? Anything I should be wary of?
Many Thanks!
