You may have seen my thread looking for Shimano Lark derailleurs and their associated caps. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/derailleur-caps.88894/
This little side hobby grew from necessity when I needed a couple Larks for some bikes. The ones I got were pretty bad off, so I taught myself how to completely tear them down and rebuild them. I've restored probably 6 so far, and today I completed another batch of 7.
A couple of 'Before' in varying degrees of disrepair.
In process, in the 'hospital'.
All back together, ready for bikes. 4 of them have new homes. 3 of them are waiting.
I have a few caps, but not near enough for them all. I've found what I hope will be good replicas. I'm waiting for some samples to arrive and try them out. Crossing fingers.
