I use a 6" strip of leather about 1/2" wide and almost 3/16" thick. If the head has been removed, I replace it hand tight. Heat the case with a heat gun, wrap the leather around the upper part of the cylinder (the head supports the cylinder walls to keep it from distorting), then use pliers on the leather and hold the case with gloves. The leather deforms to get a good grip on the fins, but is thick and tough enough not to tear or leave any marks.

I've used leather strips for years on all sorts of items that I don't want to mar or raise any burrs on. Your local cobbler or saddle maker will have thick leather on hand and you can usually get remnants for next to nothing, if not free.

Here are my Golden Bees. I bought them all used so I don't know if they are original...except the one in the upper left which apparently has lotsa stuff on it.

I always keep an eye on eBay for the old Golden Bees, I saw this one looked good with no tool marks so put a bid. Also like the thin wall TDs and Medallions.
It has the three piece piston and needed a good cleaning. They usually don't sell for much.

I've always liked the old Bees. I have a bunch of late 50s/early 60s Babe bees. The thin wall cylinder, narrow neck case, large head needle...

I have one 1958 Golden Bee. (I need to take new pics)

Excellent example Doug, looks like it's all there to include the original head, should clean up very well.

I like the early Golden bees a bunch!

Wow, when I broke it down it was new inside, never fueled! One of the hardest to take apart I've seen. Cleaned it up very nice. Now I have twins!!
