toploaders

[Scott McDowell]

I have a couple of questions on the toploaders.
What color were they originally painted? What type of paint/prep. do you recommend?
I need a gasket for the top of the transmission I have, what all do I need to know to order one? There is a small vent hole in the top of the lid. Is there a plug that goes in, or is it left open?

Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

They were bare metal from the factory. We paint them cast blast so they look natural but won't rust. All of the lid gaskets are the same so you can call or email an order in for one. The hole in the lid must remain open unless you have the air vent on the top of the tailhousing.
