Great thanks, good ideaFor a Cafe Racer, I think I would go with a #8 as a compromise. Should be plenty sturdy and not as clunky as a #10, although I like the #10 as a replacement for the other Aero offerings. A RIRI would be a good choice.
When were these C&C #10 zippers used?I personally like the old school look. However, a nice #10 add quality to a jacket.
Here are some examples of a CR with # 10 C&C zipper.

In true honesty, You can rock a nice CR for a fraction of the "premium" makers...

A #8 zipper is a good compromise for the smaller size jackets, perhaps 38 and below. My original zipper on my size 42 Sheene failed within the first year, * and I had Allan replace it. I was going to get a #8, but he said it needed a #10. So, that's what he put on it. Have had no problems since–and don't anticipate any.I guess it has to do with the size of the jacket too, perhaps size #10 zip might workon size 42 jacket visually but would be overwhelming for size 36, I never have #5 ykk fails on me, but #8 would still work on my size visually depending on the shape of its slide puller too, personally I like paperclip puller or D ring puller and leather tab as they naturally hang and not sticking out at weird angle in the case of slanted positioned zip.
Yes! They were. Excellent nickle finish on them. Personally, they look better than the 40s crowns. They were produced till mid 70s. Vansons used them in some of their heavier jackets.When were these C&C #10 zippers used?
