TEC Ser# Plate ?

[bikebudy]

Hi Gang, I have removed the Aluminum Ser# Plate from my shroud on the 4HP TEC

Used a little paint stripper an now its free from any paint.

So, the question is, should I re-paint it when I paint the shroud?

OR, should I Polish it and keep it bare?

:glare:

I think painted would look original, but that aluminum will really shine polished out....I'm going with polished ! :thumbsup:

One for Polish, check

To be honest I think it depends on the bike and the colors, etc.
hard to say.

I concur

I just know the numbers are easy to read now, then when it was painted.

Plus, no one is really going to see it when all painted and done. Its more of a personal thing.

I'm painting the 4HP and the 5HP, the 4 was O.G. Black with twin flag, the 5 was Orange.

Hmmm, do I go Orange again? White, Black, Grey? What to do, LOL

Looks much better in person, without the camera

If you buff it on a wheel polisher it might warp and deform. Keep hand polishing it. It would look nice. Paint if your going original though

If its going back on a snow blower I would stay with orange :thumbsup:

I can live with this. An the 5hp is staying Orange, I have no clue why, LOL

Thanks, there is lots of unused space on that plate and not much free space on the shroud.

So I'm going to add the Lub info decal to the plate as well.

Guess if I did some checking , that is where Tecumseh puts the decal, lol

Becoming fond of the paint being stripped of the Aluminum tag.

This is off the H30 engine I'm redoing.
