You don't want any paint in the bores, and there are some rubber seals captured between the halves. I don't really care for this idea; I'd rather see them plated. They were originally a gold chromate finish, but this doesn't weather well. A plain zinc plating has very good corrosion resistance. They would have to be split to do this well, I think. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
