Want to refresh the transaxle. Have cleaned and cleaned the exterior but want to maybe paint it to make it look nearly new. Have seen various pix of trans painted with Eastwood paint but search wasn't helpful.
What have people used with decent results? |

Worn,
Nice looking engine. I have had issues in the past using brass fittings. Almost lost and engine due to the extension to get a VDO multiple oil pressure sensor way from the block. I now us a design by Draft 42 Design, that uses a hose and then a multi tapped adapter. its 8mm and has both 8mm and 1/4" ports. Just giving you a heads up, hopefully you'll have better success. |

I have the hose, but haven't installed yet. Thanks for the warning. It will actually simplify things. Yes it is magnesium - the case is like a feather alone. Zinc chromate paint can be found at aircraft supplies. The Dr is right you know. Dirt and grease is better than nothing because magnesium has a horrible jones for oxygen. Goes dull within minutes after brushing clean. |

I have the hose, but haven't installed yet. Thanks for the warning. It will actually simplify things. I have had just the opposite experience. I had a hose running multiple senders blow out and spray oil all over the engine. Luckily it was in the garage at the time, so I was able to shut it off immediately. I now have brass fittings, and I have never had any issue with them. I keep them as short as possible, and I support the senders with a bracket to minimize the vibration. |
