Individually painting the diff stud locktabs is some next-level OCD. I approve :)

I see you have the earlier breather pipe fitted as opposed to the 'crank ventilation' - I guess that is deliberate?

Hey Roger, they are made of nagahyde. My wife made them. She
made a pattern so if you want, I can send it to you and get
somebody there to sew them up, makes it easier than the
trial and error method :) My new purchased gaiters fell apart
before I got the subframe in :(
