Jeg har researchet lidt videre og skrev sent i går nat en e-mail til
formanden for Morini Riders Club, David Marlow. Han havde følgende svar til
mig:
Morinis of the time had steel discs that were hard chromed (like fork legs),
whereas most Japanese bikes of the time used stainless which these days we
would think were better quality. They came out just before cast iron was the
preferred material.
Some of the expensive bikes at the time such as XLCR Harleys (the Cafe Racer
Sportster) did use "plasma sprayed Aluminium".
You can tell that Morinis use steel discs because modern pads which no
longer contain asbestos are now much harder and have a habit of tearing the
chrome from the discs, which means that they look bad and go rusty.
Hope this helps
Han sendte mig i øvrigt et godt billede af sig selv på sin Dart 350 (mums!)
fra en track dag sidste weekend. Sig til hvis jeg skal videresende det.
Så skulle den røv vist være barberet
Mange hilsner,
