    thanks for the kind words.......when you ask plated, do you mean anodized?? and as far as I can remember when I bought this stock about 10 years ago it was from the 5,000 series family too….sorry I can’t be more specific..!

    and as I said to Ray in my last post the wet and dry sanding part of the polishing sequence took about one and a half hrs to do and the buffing only took about 5 mins.

    tiny update

    Just put in my latest order to Arturo CNC4PC;

    A66 4Pin Connector set, C36 Quad Relay Board, A35 – 7FT Network Cable, A26 – 1FT Network Cable

    and looking at the C36 this should sort out all my relay requirements, for coolant and automatic oiler and still have two additional relays for expansion.......
