Hate to tell you this Shane but the rocker covers are already aluminium. Just want a good clean up and a polish.

Sorry discomog, I meant to say I hope to machine rocker covers from billet aluminium as I want to put a design on them. Although prices a coming in mad as expected, the other option was to make some out of aluminium folded sheet and some machined flanges.

Just out of interest are you retaining the distributor or are you going for wasted spark ignition?

It's looking like I might have a roll left over of the Tyco labels if you want them Mike. I can post them over, no charge, I got them out of work 😁

Some nice kit there
(Steinel hot air gun, Daniels crimpers, Tyco HS label printer. Although I find the printer a bit temperamental to get the set up and usually print one at a time because it loses indexing if trying to print a batch)

I only had a lend of it for the weekend and lost the run of myself apt100

Yes, you need a Tyco printer. The labels are a mil spec and resistant to oil etc. You ideal want to heatshrink it on but some of the guys in work just use them as a sleeve.

2016 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

They are also horrendously expensive from what I remember

edit:
just had a quick look and they are not quite as bad as I thought, but it still adds up if you buy a couple of different sizes https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cable-label...s/0382223/
