What's the second item Vic ?

I think its a mini reciprocating sander Terry

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That right Karl, a nice little electric pencil sander with little shapes to get into awkward little spaces. It has multiple speed settings and sanding pads grades from 180 to 1500.

I have spent the last few days when time was on my side faffing about with the wheel bay, lots of wires and pipes but not a lot to see! Why do we do it!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Also had a little play with my new sanding tool. Messed about with the studs I was trying to place on the seat back cushion.

This first one shows the pencil sander, one of the attachable sanding heads and the varying sized emery pads.

Here the selected sanding head has had the emery pad positioned on the attachable head. This is a 280 grit pad.

The tiny pilots seat cushion having had a quick sand with the vibrating head.

The seat cushion with studs after a brush down.

I then gave this a dry brush with black and have now added the harnesses, but that is for tomorrows showing. Enjoy your weekend folks.

Looks like a spiffy little tool Vic. Especially for those marks in wheel wells and other tight areas. Definitely not cheap but if its needed, you have it

Fantastic looking wheel weeks Vic
