The rear brake stopper arm should be zinc plated.

I'm still looking for the kickstartershaft. I have found this on ebay

Does anyone knows if this shaft will fit?

I've just removed one camshaft. The other one moves togehter with the camsprocket and I cannot get it loose. How should I do this?

Put the nut on the threaded shaft so it is flat with the end.
Place wood or something ya can hit with a hammer at the nut then hit it and when the shaft is loose ya are there. ...............lm

Today I received a used (but in very good condition) kickstarter shaft and a new bushing :)

Keep in mind the bushing is directional. ........lm

Because I want to zinc plate everything at once I removed the spokes in the weekend.

The front spokes and nipples looked good:

A lot of spokes from the rear wheel are bent or broken.

Zinc plated spokes I like the most. Most spokes today are stainless steel. What should I do? Can I still buy zinc plated spokes and nipples like the original ones?
