Thanks Blue whooppss sorry HT6.I do appreciate that.Yes the series 70 engines are by far the easiest to polish.I really just don't like doing Twin,Lightweight or Compact engines.It's not they don't polish up well it's just they are so fiddly.
The colour was just a high gloss enamel.These mowers weren't done in hammertone as others around this era were.I have noticed since working with the Twins the casting of the bases were very poor in quality.I don't if it was the quality of the alloy or bad moulds but not the normal quality for a Victa base.
