With the sun out again, pedal plate got welded & primed.
As did engine cover.
In fact, I also painted the inside edges, after two good coats of primer.
I wouldn't normally paint edges alone, but the rest will not be seen once I layer the inside with heat & acoustic insulation.
Spent an hour cutting templates for the insides of cover, then cut the pieces of insulation. I had bought a metre (~3ft ish) which looked big in the shop but not so big when the templates were laid over it.
More to come
