You seem to have loads of really nice bits...I cant wait to see them going onto the car...The fun part is the rebuild.

Mate, try putting multiple, thinner coats on, then you won't get so many runs in your paint.

[yeti21586]

Believe it or not I had been trying to do it thin, but the paint wasn't sticking so I slapped it on. I mentioned this to bloke at work who asked if i had scuffed the surfice first, doh! so that's what we did on the callipers and as you can see nooooo runs yay

Cheers Miniallsorts, got the hubs, discs, cv etc built yesterday, was abit of a laugh. dad was helping drift the bearing outer shell and got the rubber mallet stuck inside the bearing case 'because he hit it abit hard so had to cut the Mallet up to get it off and then applied not so much force lol

thats how ive done mine hold on to the shaft and just gentily tap the joint, just keep rotating it so your slowly nocking it of bit at a time, should come out
