Ok thanks. I will get some. Halfrauds possibly and did you spray or hand paint. i have some serious deep fins to do.

Spray. But halfords was crap and didn't come up black. More of a browny black....

get the simoniz black and aluminium.. they dont need primers.. they really are awesome paints.. designed for heads and blocks.

It's back together but not getting fuel to the plugs... argh... i think its just in need of a helping suck on the fuel pump......

check this....

It had spark no problem.... it was the fuel not getting to the carbs..
not enough pressure on tick over to fil them..
a quick squirt of easy start and it was off and running..
although still waiting on a braided rear brake line the rest is done!

And then the "before"

And the "after"!!!!
