Update RM50 Pics

Just a short update on the 1982 RM50. Many hours spent out in the shed detailing this minibike. Completely stripped down, Fully detailed and re assembled, Polished hubs and spokes, rear gaurd and side plates have been painted, front gaurd restored with plastics kit. Fuel tank will polish up. Im looking for seat cover, i was thinking, mabey i can get an RM80 one, and have it cut down to fit the rm50 seat? It's been a great job detailing this bike and seeing it come out like brand new again.
Will post more pics soon as the rest is done, and completed.

1. It looks to be there to make it easier for the spark plug to be taken out

2. Wheels as in rims or wheels as in tyres?

Tyres - Tyre shine. $2 at supercheap

Wheels - Mag polish or normal house hold polish and some elbow grease.
