Done - brakes bled and took it home today Image Image

Made a couple of covers over the exposed electrical bits that had a bit of a habit of shorting out when the toolbox was full of crap

I bought them for my HZ ute, sold the ute and kept the wheels so rather than have yet another set of wheels cluttering up the shed ........ :thumbsup:

Finished off the covers tonight, well apart from topcoat because I didn’t have any white paint …. Gave my new spot welder its first run, works good Image

Then started restoring this old tractor wheel for my bride - she wants it mounted next to the recently completed Metters oven so we can stack wood in it ……. I gotta stop sleeping I don’t have the time ImageImageImage
