The powdercoating looks great. Is it hard cleaned off threads etc??

its quite hard stuff, the bloke that did the powdercoating masked up the threads & machined surfaces on the pulleys etc so i don't need to worry about cleaning those up.

Not had much time lately but I've been re-building the pedal box during the evenings this week, got the bits back from powdercoating & zinc plating

[mk1GTstu]

put on new bronze pedal bushes & new pedal rubbers



I'm really pleased how its turned out, just a shame most of it won't be seen when its on the car. Just need to do the rest of the car now!

been rebuilding the brake servo


after powdercoating

[mk1GTstu]

didn't get the diaphragm powdercoated, took it down to bare metal, treated the rust, thin skim of filler & re-paint, not as good a finish as the powdercoating but it doesn't look too bad.

then put it all back together

[mk1GTstu]

also got this speedo pod off ebay for a bargain price of £9.80 including postage! The chrome on it is absolutely mint, I've never seen one as good as this, just gave it a clean up, really pleased with it!
