The roll bars are back from the powder coater in matt black, although to look at it I would call it more satin than matt, very happy with the finish from A Class PowderCoating in Moorabbin, thanks to Baz, very good value too and even with blasting, a
zinc prime coat and twice in the oven all this was only $130
Also I had the boot hinges blasted and coated as the welds needed reinforcing, or should I say, they needed welding! The bonnet hinges will get the same treatment when the bonnet comes off for engine install.
The rear knuckle and driveshaft went back together, so this chapter is closed. This time I can spin the nut on all the way by hand, so all good there.
Got the roll bars installed, they are 4mm wall thickness mild steel, and I sleeved them in the trunk to be able to get them in. The sleeve inside is 4mm wall chromoly.
I am down two rubber grommets for the passenger side dress rings, because I used them on the third legs. I didn't like the fit of the oval rubber ones that came with the rings, but the round ones stretched out ok. Finishline are out of stock on these at the moment so they will go on later.
I really need to clean up
Last job today was the fuel tank went back in (again).So I can now finish the fuel lines and get the low pressure pump mounted.
