Nice job
Engine loom looks good what you labeling it up with?
Dymo?
Clear heat shrink?
I tried it and it look effective

Cragrat

iTrader: (4)

not half matey

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

Daz sorting them dave , but I think as above yea .

Cragrat

iTrader: (4)

Yup,using my brother label printer which is like a dymo

dakar

iTrader: (1)

Popped to see Spesh today,didnt see much of the car but the rear beam looked minty mint

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

Im sure someone said that if you heated the heatshrink up too much it turns the dymo tape black as that's how the data is printed on but i did my test piece carefully and it was sound
might be wise to do a test and see how it goes before doing the loom




Is the car straight black as it look's metallic in some of the pic's

Cragrat

iTrader: (4)

Will get the wifes hairdrier out tonifht and check

All black matey

tosh

Nice work you are doing there I have been following this from the start, will be looking forward to seeing the finished product

I noticed you didn't powder coat the hub face have you also left the trailing arm face uncoated to?



I was just wondering as mine have been coated on the mating faces but I didn't think it would matter because it has the stone guard sandwiched between them anyway, what's your views on this?

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

i dont think its super critical mate ,

just that the way ks decided to do it ,

also means if daz opts for camber shims in the future they have a nice flat face to sit against ,

again was just prefrence bud .....

tosh

Thats good to hear I will probably just flat them down a little,

Cheers

Cragrat

iTrader: (4)

just tested the brother tape and it stays the correct colour,though i did manage to melt a label & burn my fingers

special-K

The faces were left as sometimes the powder coating can be to thick in places and un-even all i do is mask them up and give the face a light coat of etch primer job done...K
