[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 157870, member: 2989"] I am sure it will be and with some luck maybe we can meet up with a few guy's just have to see, but right now got a small problem, the emblems on the rocker covers, has anyone had any success in cleaning and repainting them. They are real cheap ally, so if you smile at them too long they will melt. I have used a small pick to get out the greater part of the paint well 99% of it but the small areas between the letters are extremely difficult. Has anyone used a light acid or paint stripper, maybe aircraft paint stripper, any ideas? And then come the problem of re painting them. I thought about enamelling them (not paint) but the temperatures required might just melt them, they are so cheap it is just low grade ally and stamped out not even cast in a mould. I have a pair that are pressed in and not screwed in like later versions. Or maybe the other way round, either way, they are very delicate and wont take much rough treatment. And being made of Coke tin ally they won't polish that well either. So if anyone had any luck i filing the voids with some sort of paint or other I would appreciate it.
