    Polyamid 4.6. The guy from the shop told me it is the same material as the ones that came out.

    Other pad is reserved by Fdekeu.

    I have put the rear U shape seal with the open side to the interior ( if you know what i mean) This way the internal oil pressure "opens" the U seal to make it tight against the shaft.
    I think this is correct but can anybody confirm?

    Finished my cam covers with VHT wrinkle paint. Great result :) but only after 3 !! failures :rolleyes:
    Here is what my thoughts are about the VHT and 3 efforts before getting it right.

    - spray from rather far away (+-40 cm) in big sweeping moves.
    - sweep over the whole part in 2 (N-Z and E-W) directions in every coat
    - Do not spray in one spot when forgetting to cover a corner, always make full sweeps. If a corner is not covered sweep over the whole part and stay far away.
    - I used only 2 ( yes 2 ) "normal" good covering coats. Not 3 "thick" coats as advised.
    - Leave +- 5min between coats but start gently drying with a heat gun in between.Keeps the part at a good temperature. It was only 15° degrees here !
    - And this my most important experience learned ; you must dry with a heat gun. Sweep continues over the whole part. This way you can control/steer the wrinkle effect everywhere.If a part does not wrinkle good you can stay a bit longer there with the gun. I tried air drying and drying in an oven and both gave a very bad uneven effect.

    Photo's to follow when covers are completely dry.
    And as said this is my experience.

    That looks really good; great effort.

    I'll pop mine in the post to you. If you can have them done by the weekend, that would be great ;)

    Yeaah , my second one .:)

    Very easy. You screw the pressure disk bolts in very light so the disk just still can move. Then you align the whole set on the engine manipulating the axes. You redraw the clutch very gentle in a straight line and secure the bolts . Retry one more time; if ok tighten the bolts to 13Nm.

    Correct. Thats what i did also. Dremel a bit the inside and make the lips smaller. To make the lips smaller i worked only one side of all the lips so the other side stays perfectly at 90 °. I choose to work only on the "loosen" side of the lips.

    I have also the big version ( in use from Fdekeu) for the big clutch bolt. But that one needs no modification.

    Speaking of the clutch. Would it be possible to put the clutch pack on the engine and afterwards the pumpkin? Use the big bolt to pull the the clutch axle into the big pumpkin bearing.
