Thanks for that info on '71 models Kadutz.
Do you happen to know what the original finish of the conical hubs and front brake air scoop was?
It seems every '71-'72 Tiger/Bonneville you see has either a painted, highly buffed, chromed or natural finish. I feel they may have been a polished and lacquered finish that discoloured over time but I wasn't into Triumphs when they first came out in the show rooms.
Cheers

PS sorry for hi-jacking your thread on this question Skitch, I should have started a new topic. :wink:
