Hi waxdass,
It certainly looks good and it's good to see how Galmet's "Jade Green" looks on the finished product. I have had a 2 litre can offered to me and I thought it needed a bit more of a darker iridescent green added to it when I stirred it up to match SB's late 1970's colour that they used up until Rover took over in 1980. All in all a very nice job indeed.
BTW as previously asked by another member did you spray it or brush paint it ?
Back on to sole plates, metal fatigue works in strange ways and doesn't generally give you any warning apart from "BANG" and injury. The reason as I've previously stated is because it's on the blade edge screw which would carry the biggest load and vibration which inturn causes more fatigue. Putting a timeframe on it is rather careless especially when you know about it. It's a bit like driving a car knowing that one of the brake lines was about to burst and trying to drive to Melbourne and attempting to save a buck opposed to thinking of personal safety.
I'm sure there are a few other members of the ODK Forum reading this thread that think the exact same thing.
Anyway it's your call.
Cheers,
BB
