I have some pretty basic/newbie questions about this. Someone painted the lid, but not the rest. I want to paint it as a bit of a temp. measure (and, later, have it powder coated), but I’m tentative about a few things:
1. The rubber cover on the intake “arm” - how hard is this to remove without damaging? They look NLA. Seems like it would be too hard to tape-off.
2. The locking clips - I started fiddling with one and trying to remove it. I stopped because I wasn’t sure I could remove without damaging it. Any experience or tricks you can relay? I did just look at Maximillian and they do look available. Maybe I should talk to Paul or Saul and make sure, first.
3. Seems like the air flap in the arm can be removed. Maybe. Looking at the part diagram, it looks like it is not listed as a separate part. So, maybe it’s best to leave it, give it a bit of movement while drying to ensure it doesn’t stick (and tape a bit, where possible)?
Any tips, tricks, experience would be appreciated. As alway, thanks!
