Fuel selector and boost pump positioning check. The mount, pump, and selector are from a K35.
Seats to be used also from a K35. The front seats are adjustable, but don’t sit as high as the commonly used P and later seats - a bonus when you’re tall in the saddle like John & Mike.
The landing gear had years accumulation of crud and grease.
After disassembly, washing, and preliminary inspection, the landing gear parts were masked for sand-blasting or glass-blasting.
Landing gear parts thoroughly washed, re-inspected, then re-masked for paint.
Two coats of epoxy primer, two coats of acrylic urethane paint applied to landing gear components. 
Landing gear parts laid out, re-cleaned, ready for assembly.
Assembled right gear strut.
