The press tooling I made is for the fuel tank cover. It has a dished recess for I assume a soft rubber compound to sit in under the lid. As I only need two of these I never put too much weld on them so I can easily disassemble and reuse the material again, much like most of my tooling. I will get them both completed within the next 2-3 days.

I have just about completed both the backs apart from the fuel doors.

The rear plate has some holes that bolts go through and some are tapped. After spraying the parts today they were dry in about 30 seconds as it is pushing 43-44 degrees hear. Not so good working but great for painting.

Great work Colin. We use the same stuff but we nick named it "choccy sauce" Its primarily used on aircraft fuel tanks as you say, fantastic stuff, the grab quality of it is also astounding ! I quite like the smell of it though
 really enjoying this thread mate, absolutely fantastic. Richie

Colin, Same sentiments as Richard except that Chocolate sauce is only for Ice cream.
