Mr. Tubs, I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

I am working on an Elto 1926 Model G at the moment. Have sorted most of the mechanical issues and am now starting to prepare the drive/exhaust housing and rudder for polishing. The drive/exhaust housing in particular has been knocked around quite a bit over the years and contains numerous scratches, small indentations and ripples. I have therefore started with a solid block and 120 grit, in the hope of getting it back in to good basic shape before I move up to the finer grits.Over 8 hours in already!

Can I ask, when you restored your rudder twin, did you follow the same procedure (per your Polishing an Antique Aluminium Outboard Motor Gas Tank video) or did you deviate from that for any reason?

Looking forward to hearing back.

Thanks and regards,
Spiro
