I know there maybe different techniques for painting the numbers and letters, how did you paint them? I know someone mentioned using an artist brush. I also remember reading how MM painted them, but forgot what their procedure was, must be the age.... 
Your parts always look good, great job as usual... 
Side note, does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove the throttle plate cover? I really don't want to end up destroying the TB...lol, but this plate is really stuck on there.....will be tomorrow's project among other things... |
I used a Cue Tip (I think I broke the cotton tip off and used the stick end) but an artists brush might be easier
If you insert the original screws into several holes of the TB Cover Plate but do not thread them you can tilt the screws and create considerable uplift in the TB Plate Cover. You might try tilting the screws at several angles.
Or.....use an allen wrench of the size of the holes in the TB Cover Plate which if fits relatively tight would give you even more leverage. Just do not insert the allen wrench into the threaded area of the TB.
Do not try to wedge with a flat head screw driver between the TB Plate Cover and TB as that will just mess up the TB.
