    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Those look pretty sweet!
Doing the bowls next?

What is your polishing set-up?

Nope, not going to do the bowls, was not going to do the caps either as my original ones are plastic and I painted those, these I just got, so I might use them...

as for my setup, it's very basic

and some sandpaper, micro fibre cloths, a dremel tool for those tight spots, and a lot of patience.......
 
I don't know, I have to take one off my existing setup and compare, I hope they will work....

Ya gotta do the bowls now! I just did my caps with the same result and had to do the bowls to match.:p You gonna clear coat?
 
Naw, not going to do the bowls, way too much work, and I am not about to remove the carbs, it's a real PITA, so the bowls will stay as is...

clear coat, nope no need the caps are aluminum so I should be OK, just keep an eye on them and some metal polish once in a while should suffice
