Hi John, 1st... We all make mistakes. I have made quite a few on the snowblower engine swap, so don't sweet it. 2nd, it looks primarily cosmetic to me. IF I was in your shoes... Yes, being a perfectionist might make it hard to let it go... What I would do. Machine up a couple of plugs that would fit inside that would sit a bit proud. JB weld em in (I can't weld!!) then take some light cuts on the lathe to true them up. A fresh coat of paint... no one will know the difference! Eric |

:update: Its done! :update: I found a tin of that Isopon Metallic filler on a shelf....(forgot I had, it was disguised by some blue paint on its exterior...) So after some rubbing,filling some more filling and rubbing I ended up with this....... |
| John Rudd:
A quick rub down with some thinners and we are ready for paint..... Primer coat applied and now waiting for it to harden off.... |
| appletree:
Looking good! All that fuss about nothing, well done. Are you able to cancel the order for the new piece of metal? Phil |
| John Rudd:
Phil, Thanks for the comments....I feel better already..... Replacement billet was cancelled without issue thankfully....saved me another £72... |
