Brake discs in primer. To be painted then off to be skimmed. This will be their final cut
Hopefully that will be OK. 800 bucks a piece for NOS is nuts!

Brake drum back plates ready for - errrr, not sure yet. Originally they were black phosphated. Ive seen some engine covers that were tuftrided. A very close match for phosphate but will offer good rust resistance. Probably what i will do.

Some more coated parts. Yes, i forgot to take the j nuts off
Pic shows the bits a bit light. Would have been bare metal originally.
