I personally like seeing the exposed fins and I understand the rust it's part and parcel due to the heat. That's the same reason I don't mind the exhaust being coated in rust and see little point painting them in heat proof paint.

Even though those lowest tier covers look plain, I think the higher mounted fuel tank helps in using up all the fuel over the lower mounted ones. I hate seeing quite a quantity of two stroke mix at the bottom by the time the mower stalls through supposed lack of fuel.

I'd be interested in seeing this mod you've done NK.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
