Wow, that is a hectic transformation, I wonder if there are before/after picture threads on the forum.

The platers are going to collect the alternator bracket on Thursday for re-chroming so I ground and polished the superfluous lumps and bumps off it so it's ready to go.

The setting tool for the copper rivets arrived yesterday - I ground it back a little so it wouldn't mark the rocker plates and shortened the rivets a little after a trial one bent over rather than deforming evenly.
Even so typically the first one didn't go to plan - partly because the raised panel on the rocker cover isn't quite flat and partly because our technique needed adjusting it skewed and deformed the Austin plate around the rivet so I'll have to get a new plate and try again. The remaining rivets were perfect.Grrr!

Good question - if not perhaps there ought to be!
