Z1 steering head taps
Just bought some imported frames, although legit one in particular has been re-stamped badly, can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase a set

Just look on Ebay or tool shops etc for number/letter stamps of the correct height.
You won't find any that match the Kawasaki font.
I know because i've searched for years but as long as it's a neat job it doesn't really matter.

i had some made up in the correct font's at a place in the jewelry quarter in birmingham in the 70s they made stamps for the royal mint but they was expensive at the time but we had a break in at work & was stolen with loads of other tools

I once saw an engine that the numbers had been done by an engraver and thats the closest ive ever seen to the real thing.....

Re: Z1 steering head taps
Thanks for the info guys, got loads of taps of the correct size 1/4",6mm I think, yes it's the font that's the problem, but I could do a much better job than is on it at present, for sure.
