Have to final drill and deburr the right side (or left, that detail on DWG3 confuses me when it points left and says &#8220;right&#8221;)  and then agonize over primer, MEK, scotchbrite pads, and go through the learning curve of my flea-market HVLP sprayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 hours Took apart the HS assembly, got HS 710 and HS714 out of the mix.
