Default parts blasted and painted

I disassembled all the conduit and with some storage boxes and other items dropped it all off at the sandblasters yesterday for blasting. With the heat, they are only blasting in the mornings.
I have installed the new speedo cable that I got from Euan (also on MLU) some time ago and connected it to the gearbox drive.

Today
Bought more etch primer for the items and collected the bits & bobs from the sandblasters. It is 41 deg C today, excellent drying weather, so I have undercoated the items and will let them dry for the afternoon.
With the overnight temp being 24 deg C and 0% humidity I took the opportunity to paint all the items in undercoat, green. They can dry overnight and get another coat in the morning.
At this rate I may be able to assemble the conduit tomorrow morning and install stowage boxes.
Tomorrow have to collect an accelerator linkage and copy the bends so my rod can be installed.
