Info needed: Re-silvering Headlamp Reflectors

[jeepfinger]

Hi Owen,

Have you managed to get your reflectors done yet? I had my motor bike reflector done a few years ago, sadly not on the bike yet. A chap on the WD BSA forum called Ian Wright got it done for me.

Owen, I think that we have met a few years ago. It was at Elvington, would I be right, that you where a Jerry then?

Hi Dave,
I sent them off to Keith Ardley (details kindly provided by Mike Gurr) a few weeks ago, with a 3-week turnaround. So I should be getting them back maybe next week.

Hmmm. I did go through a 'jerry phase' a few years ago when I was young and daft; now I'm older but sadly no wiser! I used to go to the MVT show at Elvington every year. A shame it's not still on; a very nice setting, particularly having the museum there too.

P.S. For those that haven't been to Elvington museum before (http://yorkshireairmuseum.org), a few pictures of some of the exhibits....

Owen.

Hi Owen,

That's good news on the reflectors.

Is this a picture of you? It's who I thought you where.

No, sorry Dave, that must be another ex-jerry called Owen. But, if the Kettenkrad in the photo is looking for an owner called Owen, I'm sure I can provide it with a good home!
Cheers,
Owen.

The Royal Mail chap dropped these off today. To say I'm rather chuffed would be an understatement. Thanks to Mr. Mike Gurr for kindly providing Keith Ardley's contact details.

P.S. I have now discovered that newly resilvered reflectors are almost impossible to photograph, so apologies for the crappy pictures...

Cheers,
Owen.

They do look good. And you managed to remain incognito as well.... no face in the reflector to let us see who you are.

Glad it worked out for you. I am always a little nervous circulating details of someone I haven't used myself but what I saw of his work looked very good.
