    Problem is satin black has different shades depending on the manufacture. Where it really shows is around the instruments. If you can get your man to spray a couple samples pieces, maybe you can find a early 911 nearby and you can go compare and pick out what looks best. The good part is most early cars have original paint around the dash, and that is a area that does not get sun so it is not faded.

    How many parts in a '69 steering rack?
    I realised quite late on that the bearings are in a seprate sleeve inside the main carter
    Bearings are type 16002.
    The grease inside is *very much* like CV joint grease. Have it up to my hair.
    About cleaned. I am debating having the main casing bead blasted before reassembly.

    You can blast the housing with walnut shells. It would not etch the housing . Just be sure to wash it out good afterwards. It will look new.

    Funny how interests merge.
    Bought that anvil in a small closed workshop in a side valley. Must be over 100 years old. I have a dilemma, I would like to have it machined smooth on top, but it is only original once…
