Yessir it was. I was just mentioning it as I know some resto's have received aftermarket exhaust simply due to the fact it is so hard to track down NOS exhaust stuff.

I've used loctite on all my carbs for the throttle plates with zero issues over the years. Heating a little to remove later (if I ever have to again) beats filing the back of the screws off.
Never used green before but after reading up on its application I don't think you'll have any issues.
Your carbs look great!

I'm pretty happy with how the carbs came out. Hoping I don't have any issues when I put them to use!

I used a really low pressure for the controls (about 2 bar) so that I didn't round off the text. This is the second set I've tried to restore and the edges of the text on the first set weren't good enough to paint (when I sprayed the text white and then sanded the excess, the letters were all wonky). I figured that I may have been a bit extreme when blasting them so took it easy this time, because of this there is still some excess paint that I need to remove manually.
Other than that not much done this week as I am supposed to be fixing the transmission on the wife's mini.

Unfortunately I completely forgot about a dent on the left side of the housing. I meant to hammer it out a bit before I took it to get plated. It was made more visible when the ring was assembled - everything else was perfect so it stuck out. My stupid brain wouldn't leave me alone so I tried to hammer it out a bit. It ended up a bit better but despite the cardboard under the housing I still ended up with some micro-scratches in my nice new chrome. Any tips on how to get these out? Rouge and 0000 steel wool?
