Re: [HSS] Speedo Cable Repair Finished

Unknown

Paul, your engine looks great S/S studs,green paint etc. but you will

have to do something with the rusty exhaust manifold. Some people

here have had their manifolds sprayed with Alum. metal spray or had

a special heat resistant coating applied, looks better than a rusty one

I am not sure what to do with mine. The photos are excellent.
