Been slowly working at this. Put some high temp JB weld on the trouble spots, both inside and on the outside,
then ground them down with a Dremel. Some high heat gloss black on the inside, and red on the outside. NO paint went on the lid.
I did not spray the paint on the kettle. I sprayed the paint into a container, then applied it with a foam brush - 2 coats.
Got the handles from Brian. He does excellent work. Currently applying some spar varnish to them.
A buddy gave me some un-used legs and a triangle from a 26er that he has.
He made his own stand / set-up, so these were not being used. They're a bit longer ... and of course, the triangle is bigger.
I don't mind having it raised a little. I will have to modify the triangle. And there are no indentations on the legs to fit into the leg sockets.
I guess I will have to make my own. Just one more challenge on this RRR.
Any tips or suggestions for this?
I am still waiting for the sweepers, and the gold parts for the conversion.
