Right I'm going to have to borrow Grandads brasso bottle and do mine!

Does it work wonders on SP engines?


It should do depending on how bad/good they are.  

Good luck  


thanks MM,

the SP2 I bought recently has gone a bit discoloured and it bugs me!

I know its not Mamods best idea ever.  On my Brooklands Tourer I clean the bonnet but leave the vent holes.  It gives a very pleasing slight blackening around the top of the holes which just looks right to my eye.
