Vintage Norton Hone Restoration Project
Well here's my latest project that will take more time and 'thunk'n' than I care to think about.
I Damn Near pulled a 'Glen' by getting excited and starting on it 'Before Taking Pictures' hehehe
It's an 'Older' Norton Tri Hone and unlike the 'Newer Ones' it's not made of plastic. Instead the base is made of Cast Iron and the Cover is Stamped Steel
Here's some pics of how it looks now;

As you can see I had started taking out the brass rivets that held the cover plate when I figured out that I need to take some pictures.
Micro Fasteners's round headed rivets are too small and I'm searching for some round headed brass rivets with a shaft Dia of 3/32". Found one place but I'll keep the search on as I don't need 1000 rivets.
Once I get the small name plate off I"m planning on taking the cover and base to my local automotive machine shop for a ride in their hot acid 'dishwasher' to remove the paint and oil.
My next headache is getting the steel rivets out that hold that small name plate.
