Laverdaroo:
It’s not great but passable I suppose!
Should have paid you to do it Ken if I’m honest!
Least it would have been right!
Here’s the routing of the points lead, forgot to bob a piccies up
Just looks odd to me, anything Vance moved but just thought it didn’t look very Honda and didn’t take a piccy cos I’m stupid

Should have put a close up pic of the clutch cover up so we could see how the chromers did with the repolish. Doesn't look to bad from a distance but could be pants close up.

That’s after them doing it twice! It doesn’t photo well but the staining is still there.
Can’t get the light right to get a decent shot of the rippling and graunching they added onto it for free FFS!

See if you can get some largish shrink tube, put it over the cable clamps and just shrink it into place. Sharp edges like those will wear the covering away. Position looks ok TBH. If you need some I've probably got some lying around.
Not great that is it, I can see the staining and the scratches, which TBH usually look worse in a pic than they do in real life, I can see where they caught the edges on something as well. Got to be honest and say I've seen much worse. I can't say for sure that I'd have done better without doing one myself first, they could be complete bitches to do OR they could be pretty easy, hard to say without doing one. I've got more than a few of them TBH so maybe I'll have a go and see how one comes out.
My lads grab rail is looking to be the best I've ever done I think, if the finish before you start to polish is anything to go by it should be better than you're sliders. They were really really bad to start off with, one of the worse I've ever started with I reckon.

I've advised Wendy if I fall off the perch unexpectedly to contact Roo to offer up my 400 & 500 here on the sohc site before giving her brother the oportutnity to move it on.
Sesman:
Excellent plan. Keep moving Ted; motion is lotion.
