Hey dude,

Nice work there.

Could you tell me what brand of black paint you've used on the underside?

Cheers

Longman, quick drying truck enamel and foam paint roller

Trying to keep engine bay clean of wires and pipework is proving to be a pain in the ass.

MSD mounted - have made fibreglass mould of heater bubble and pulled fibreglass copy, this will cover MSD any anything else I can think off.



Quickshift I made a few months ago




Switch panel coming on




This arrived from USA today - $15 each ex postage, best buy all year so far. Saved me a whopping equivalent of 90Uk pounds if I had to buy them locally in RSA



In our series we need working lights/indicators. Because mk1 indicator backing's are so scarce here I decided to use amber LED lights behind lenses. No problem with bulbs comming adrift as well
