Dominator service notes

I have been reading through this wonderful publication. And been looking at brake pedals for various twins and singles. This is a minefield. The service notes do not cover this topic. I was wondering if we could start a picture index of known pedals. Maybe useful when searching the jumbles. The reason for this is that I bought a late wideline pedal and discovered the pivot hole too small but in all other dimensions, it is identical. I believe it is for a single down tube ES2, which uses a pivot with a nut to retain the pedal.

Dominator chrome tank panels

I was wiping some old glue from the lovely chrome tank panels on my '57 Dominator, using paper towel and petrol.

I noticed that the areas I had wiped no longer had the beautiful high gloss finish.

I think that the paper towel contained fine sand which scratched the surface.  Does anyone have any idea how I can recover the original finish?
