Hi BB,

Yes, I trusted him considering he did a great job matching the colour last time. I did ask him for a paint formula, but unfortunately he said it's all in his head and done by eye. I didn't press him on it, but if I continue to order through them and take on a few more rest's, I'll definitely be a bit firm about it.

Now I've got a question - I've purchased a few brass thrust pads from: http://jcnco.bigcartel.com/product/thrust-pad

What thickness (in mm) is the fibrous washer meant to be that originally went with these thrust pads? I had a quick look at bunnings, but it might end up being easier to just cut them out of a sheet for myself.

What is your suggestion for obtaining a fibre washer of the correct size?

My husband brought home 6m worth of polished stainless tubing for the front roller. Apparently that's the smallest length you can buy it in. Looks like I'll have to make a few and put them on eBay or take on a few more reso's. Ha!

Just waiting on the parts back from the sandblaster and then I'll get started on painting. Hoping to be able to chuck most of the small parts in a tumbler over the weekend for cleaning.
