Well now that it is cold I am taking parts off the truck that I can work in
inside. Once completed I am then placing it back on the truck outside. The
first item was the oil filled air cleaner. I took this off and cleaned it
up. It looks to me to be a piece of aluminum - no rust at all inside or
outside. It has that gray color and feel. Only the top of the lid looks
like it was painted black and had a sticker on it. My question is now that
it is clean and looking great - I would hate to paint it. All of the
original 46's that I have seen all have this as a semi gloss black. I think
I may be special since I have a 45? Any take on what is correct.
One other problem. The bottom piece that holds the oil has a very small
hole in it. It is about as big an if you would take a pencil and poke into
where the lead stops. I am wondering what would be the best thing to use to
fill this hole and also retain the oil in the bath.
Thanks
