Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Adapting a 1955 open drivetrain

Here's a better pic of the small brass wire brushes I mentioned, you can get them on Ebay for like $3 for a dozen. I used about 4 or 5 of them.



Then I pulled the speedo bullet out.



This is how the case is before spritzing the self etching primer.



EDIT: Beater, I was curious, my plan has been to paint the case before I reassemble everything, but I have a guy telling me to paint it after assembly. What would you do, paint before or after? Seems to me that if you wait, the shafts are in place, making it a pita to primer and paint. Also if I was to paint after assembly wouldn't the bolt heads be painted also unless I masked them off? That seems like a sour note to me... What say ye?
