Bump? Still don't know what it is!

Please don’t follow the above advice. It’s a very difficult & complex process, time consuming, frustrating, lots of dangerous fumes and you could permanently damage your bike parts. It worrying that you are telling people to use Hydroflouric Acid, presumably you mean Hydrofluoric Acid, which...

Those exact ceramic beads that fit together have been used to insulate wires on heating elements for at least 20 years!

I used F360 for a bit but they used to change things around on the updates. I now use Solidworks at home as we use it at work! I do like AutoCAD for 2D stuff (factory layouts etc) though. TurboCAD is also good for 2D.

Hopefully this will work:

Don't think there was a 531 AT, although there was a 531, STD, S and XT. Have you got some pictures of it?

'WD Pro' one here had a load made for Fat Chances. This was a while back though.

Looks good! Are they being chemically polished?
