Very nice Brett. How thick is the caliper spacer plate? Only looks 2mm. Let’s see a rim on there please?

Have you got the callipers on the wrong side? The bleed nipple appears to be at the bottom. You will never get the air out.

50% chance I s'pose.
Given how considerate you have both been in pointing this out, I will take your lead and make generous spirited comments too. 😁

Thanks Blacky. Bought a new gun for this ute. I thought the old one was good, but this one makes everything come out smooth and shiny.

Well done. No runs on all those vertical surfaces in this weather….

Yes, if it was 2K I wouldn't have had a chance (paint runs galore), but heating the shed a bit first and spraying under the heat lamps made the acrylic flash off fairly fast.

I have lots to install in the engine bay, so just couldn't wait around for spring (which can arrive in November in Bung!). Steering column and modifed box and fuel and brake lines coming up. Strange not seeing a battery box but will get used to it.
