BigGrin Hi Nem
Glad to hear your getting a start going soon, I will be using Alclad steel on my wheels as they don't do a normal cast iron just a burnt one LOL . Thanks for your comments and looking in

Good stuff Andy. ThumpUp It's all helping me make up my mind on what to do with this one. Something to think about whilst I continue with the never ending planking on the SOTS.

BigGrin Hi all
ok there I am sitting in the hospital with an 11:15 appointment just knowing that my D51 and Samurai packs would show up today, so I get home to find the inevitable card saying go forth to your nearest sorting office to collect your goodys and what time did they try to deliver 11:20 sods law isn't it roflLOL Laugh LOL .
Anyway so its this months instalment, the making up and fitting of the spark arrester and the front deck.
No real issue's with the spark arrester just make sure the joining ring is the correct way up and the glue area to the mesh can be iffy in parts but quite easy to overcome, I then sprayed the assembly with the weathered black and fitted it in place.
The front deck again was quite straightforward just make sure the release levers are correctly placed I haven't sprayed this part yet as there are more parts to add here
regards

That's Spooky, almost the same thing happened to meScared Scared
Phoned up for a Doctors appointment, the first time in 3 years, and they had a cancellation at 10am. Postie who normally comes at 9.30 was late and when I got back there was the Red Card, normally they leave them in the Porch, but there was a tracked package too, so they took all 3 away againMad Mad. But I have now retrieved themBigGrin BigGrin
Like you say Sod's Law in all it's gloryLOL LOL

BigGrin Hi All
As you know if you have read my diary so far I was using the Alclad Stainless steel paint on the running gear, well I kept at it but was never happy with the finish it just didn't look right to me so after several retry's of stripping back and restarting and looking at the how to vidio's messing with the pump preasure still no joy. Im not sure if Alclad can go off with age but perhaps this is what happened with the paint I had.
So I decided to try the Alclad Steel paint instead and this worked out much better and im quite happy with the results
Regards
