i can see them fine.
Iain, well on my old one i had the "conversion" engine mount on the car, as in the steal bracket you get, but it's holes were in a **** position and use to twist the engine in the bay.Quote:

So it on a normal xe engine mount with the solid mounts, the cam side one has been dropped down using 1x1 box as it was too high, both gear box one's were fine.
But as with my old car that engine side solid mount is still to high and was touching on the bonnet, i have seen this on other car's, I'm not sure if all the owners are aware it was happening, but you could see there cam cover/and rubber bit had worn through.

And i also finally sorted the Opel spark plug cover out.
It took me quite some time and sweat to get the paint sanded down to the alloy again.
It's not 100% perfect to which I'm annoyed slightly, as i was sanding it with wet and dry bits of alloy got stick in the paper and gouged out deeper scratches back into it more then i was smoothing out, so it took ages to get it to how it is.
I then masked the lettering up (used electrical tape, cheers for that idea Spud) Sprayed the cover in yellow again, then let that dry, and have now applied three coats of lacquer to it.
Think it's finished, looks alright.

another way of getting the letters alloy would have been to paint it all the use some wet and dry 'Wet' and rub evenly over the raised lettering :thumb:
Yellow looks Ace
