Re: '40 Sport Scout bob job
Thanks Whacknut!, the "triple" trees are bronze. Thats a unique Vard thing. I read that they can bend but typically don't break. Kinda different, I'm going to polish them instead of painting them...

Re: '40 Sport Scout bob job
After trying everything in the book, I discovered I have '41 to '42 hubs. They are different than the '40s so they won't lace up. Here's a pic though of the cream color. When I get the correct hubs,...

Re: '40 Sport Scout bob job
Whacknut, I ended up painting the hubs cream at the same time I did the rims! I will paint the brake plates black though for a little contrast.
