Just looked over your site, you must have so much patience! and top marks it really does look good! It makes my Omega, which is a good example look like a banger. I must admit there is something about the Omega which I like, I don't know what it is yet lol.

how long did that take ya to do??
and how easy is it to do, ive been wanting to do this to mine

Was around 6-8 hrs stripping, 4 hrs finishing it. I cheated and gave the finishing job to a friend who has a metalwork shop, as I done most of it sat between my legs on the garden Undecided

, my mate said it would'nt need any lacquering Roll Eyes

As its alloy, if you stick a greasy finger on it the grease will soak into the metal......hence, laquer it and it will be MUCH easier to keep clean

When do you ever see the Countess with greasy fingers? He won the cleanest overalls of the day award at the Telford Cambelt do. Grin

We discussed this actualy on Friday, you dont need high temp plate for the plenum is it wont get above about 100 degC.....mainly because its nicely air cooled Thumbs Up!

Apr 2010 at 12:12 I noticed that actually,they dont seem to get hot really,but better to be safe than sorry i suppose for the sake of £4 a tin,and i would say that the high temp stuff should adhere better to it.
