What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[LAURENCEAUX]

Identifed a potential rust problem. Whilst poking about I saw what looked like rust on the metal pipe connecting the water pump to the elbow on the cylinder head. Poking a small mirror in shows definite corrosion on the side facing the engine.

I thought oh I'll just replace that then. Nearly £12 at Fowlers plus O rings for a bit of squashed steel ! And on back order no stock.

Looking through my box of bits I got an old one more corroded than mine so measured up and made myself one in 316.

 

I also spotted rust last time I strip serviced my bike. Behind the rad on top of TDM 900. Treated with Kurust and a dollop of Hammerite.
