Keeping up the momentum:

Stage 2 of cleaning the 900F tank.
I'm stripping the bits of paint on the underside.
Cleaning the rust the best I can, then I'll prime and paint it black.

The top side of the tank will be 2-tone black and bare steel polished.
I plan on designing the pattern to mask the polished area in CAD and print it on our stencil plotter.

Once I have the pattern, I can stick it to the tank [it's adhesive on the back side :-D ], then paint around it.

Should work out really nicely.

Here are a couple of more pics. (Sorry these are with my cell-phone, I have a much better rig for shooting photos but it's so much work to setup. Soon I'll take some really nice ones to share.)

Also, below are some photos of the wiring components I plan on using.
Most are circular interconnects (amphenols.)

Previous owner of the 900cc engine did something retarded... but I got the cover off and scrapped it.


Here's my 750 engine cam cover:


And here it is again after I cleaned it up:
