[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1473615, member: 17212"] HELLO!!! Anybody home? What a score Bob. You did good. Those are real keepers. I would not restore them either. There are so many restored mid-sixty's Triumphs out there it has lowered the value of the bikes. An un-restored original with the patina intact is more popular than a perfectly restored one. Wipe them down with an oily rag and touch up the bad stuff. Rich is right, (as usual) use 0000 steel wool and Semi-Chrome on the shiny stuff and Simple Green and a lot of elbow grease works good on the castings. The reason they use two petcocks is because of the way the gas tanks are designed. There is a frame tube that goes between the two sides of the tank leaving deep sections on either side. If you only had one petcock, you would still have gas in the other side of the tank when one side runs out. Hence the reserve petcock on one side. The copies of the original petcocks are cheap and very accessible. If properly routed the fuel lines should not kink on the Bonneville. I can get you all of the parts you need and have them drop-shipped to your home. Big D cycle in Dallas is another good source for parts and info. I would suggest buying a set of Whitworth wrenches and sockets to work on them. Triumph changed over to SAE around 1967 but everything before that was whitworth. In an effort to use up all of their old stock, some of the 68-70's still had some whitworth combined with SAE. Those are particularly fun to work on. LOL. Have fun with your new projects and call me if you need any help. 9er. [/QUOTE]
