Two big and equally satisfying projects today.
First, got the new 90 degree Dremel attachment and put that to good use in reslotting the frozen cam guide screws on the new Late case. Surprised this was the first time I'd ever needed to get to a screw at this angle. You'd think it would have come up before...
The 90 degree head put the cutting wheel exactly where it needed to go. On the first screw, I didn't cut deep enough and when I tried the impact driver, it started to strip the head. Went back and cut it as deep as I could so the bit was as well seated as possible. Then 2 good whacks and she was loose.
Cut the next two very deep and very wide to get the best possible fit and those both came out with just 2 whacks each. Job done.
Next, painted all the parts with the ACE brand "Machine" paint. Following the can's instructions, I only waited a few minutes between coats. But the big difference is that this time, I let everything dry overnight before handling.
Went for a "decent" paint job, but didn't sweat the details since this is just a color test. Missed the back side of the swingarm since I never flipped it upside down to paint.
