hi neil/all...looking good neil, like the custom mounts.
just a bit of advice, allways centre punch and next time you are in the tool shop pick up a bs 1 centre drill and go through nearly all the way with it. then swap to your drill bit and it will follow the hole made better. if your using a hand drill make sure its 90 degrees to the work, lol or pack sum sandwiches and jump in your car and come to mine and use my mill . have a metal band saw here and a lathe too.
my e-maxx is still in bits, bit cold outside in the workshop atm...cold fingers see ya neil...

oh yer and when u finnished with the 300 grit (i find 800 much better not so scratchy) rub over with 1200 wet and dry and water and i think you'll like that finnish. then u have the option to polish from there...
