    Here we have the brackets that fasten the rear bumper assembly to the car. They are factory plated again and look at the state of them. Again, on this I'm deviating from that and will use extreme chassis black....

    And then refinished them. There are a couple of marks in the finish where rust had pitted the surface but I'm drawing the line at using filler stopper on a pair of bumper brackets!

    Great work. How about using Coke, vinegar, or brick cleaner etc. to soak the parts overnight before you paint them?

    Great idea! Thanks Mark - will give that a try - I certainly have plenty of rusty bits to test it out on!!!

    I had never heard of this tool! Thanks, I will look to add one to the toolbox. Is there anything to avoid when shopping for one of these? I see some available that are 4mm with refills. Is that the way to go?

    What do you like to use to freshen up the rubber?

    Hi Kevin - I just use some silicone spray that was intended for use lubricating electric window runners. Seems to work fine :)

    PS - Glass fibre pencil really great - nothing to watch out for they all work fab for detail cleaning without scoring :)

    The tumbler is a good idea. Actually you got my thinking. I have my sons rock tumbler that we don't use anymore. I wonder if that would work with the right media in there?

    There are a load of pyramid shaped stones and a cleaning solution. The whole unit vibrates so the bolts are shaken about against the stones and the fluid. The fluid cleans the dirt off and the corners of the stones gently rub the surface material away.

    Yes, I see it now Aldous I did some research after you mentioned it. They have plastic and "walnut shells" too for different cleaning levels don't they! What a brilliant tool!

    I'm going to order one tonight. Everything is going to end up in it isn't it. If it's not nailed down it'll get media blasted!! Hahaha

    On the car front today I received a pretty detailled parcel from Eurospares containing all the necessary bits to finish building up the gearbox and also to rebuild the selector itself. That will be the next job here. I'm afraid it's going to me more detail pics and stuff so still no sexy carbon and stuff to see yet but we will get there with it!

    Yes I use mine all the time. String up washers together with a couple of zip ties and count the number of items going in - it makes removal much easier.

    I'd obtained the correct parts to blank off the rear sensor point on the box not used in the manual application. One thing it really is worth saying is that it takes so much time to read the parts diagrams and order all these little bits ahead of time.
