A good friend of mine and physics teacher (also appreciator of vintage Volvos) said that if he had anything to do about it, he would allow oxygen to combine with iron only once...nice thought...!

BTW, I don't have a problem with you painting your Flywheel...just be certain that there is NO PAINT on the interface surface between it and the Crankshaft...paint in compression in-between precision critical surfaces like that is a no-no...but you knew that!

Cheers
Thanks Ron

I´m happy to report that I´ve been a good boy! I even masked up the contact surface for the clutch plate before spraying =>



The last thing I want is some sort of plasticy goo messing things up for the first few miles

I appreciate your interest in the thread - the big plan is to try and get the car back together again by the end of March - so forum based interest is greatly received as it helps fuel things along
