I've been dreading doing the metal conduit on my carrier for ages now , but finely bit the bullet and borrowed the gear from my older electrician friend today . I have always disliked cutting threads but using this old time gear it was a breeze cuts easily , love the clamp in the vince . so will press on with it this week , I'm using new and old parts . Dale









Before I did the conduit today , sprayed down the final coat of Kharki Green no 3 on the middle section of the engine bay floor between the engine rails as last week I left this section unpainted so as to have somewhere to stand when painting the engine bay . I now feel like I've turned the corner of the build , so as from now on I can fit things out for good . One thing I did was to change the paint from Protec equipment enamel to Protec 342 spraying enamel khaki green No 3 mixed to 30% satin this paint is UV stabilised plus you can be a mug spray painter put it on wet or dry up and down left and right and it always drys to a stain finish I very happy with it .. Dale
