They have been blasted and painted with Hammerite direct to metal spray. they have been left for over a month whilst doing other stuff so have cured rock hard.

Looking really good, you can buy a blanking plug from Anembo engineering to replace the fitting on the inlet for the factory oil breather rather than using a hose with a bung, that's what I did with mine looks a lot better.

Keep up the good work

engine running for the first time. started on the button with new CW loom. the one thing i didnt change was the water pump due to the price of the things and in typical cossie fashion, it leaks from the feed pipe which was a bit corroded new water pump it is then.

Bit more done on the shed. got the strut brace powder coated and made a mount for the breather. painted it satin black as well as wasnt too keen and too much silver.

Just need to get the hoses swapped out for black ones next.
