Excellent chrome mirror finish that can be lacquered with the correct lacquer
The chrome mirror finish is excellent. I would rate it the equal of aluminium vacuum coating of plastic parts used in e.g. model kits. It is however soft and not very durable to handling, even when left for days. Okay if you use it just for model kits. However, I also used it for 1970s Action Man parts e.g. Lifeguard helmet, sword and scabbard. There is a good solution - lacquer it for protection. Through trial and error, I found water based acrylic lacquer to be useless. It mottled the chrome finish, much to my surprise. However the solution is to use an acetone based acrylic automotive lacquer. I used Tetrosyl trade clear spray in a can. It is acetone thinner based, not xylene. This initially turns the chrome paint dull, but soon the chrome finish resettles and heypresto, the chrome finish is back. A lacquer finish that does not adversely affect the chrome mirror finish, but provides a good protective layer to handling. Excellent chrome finish and with Tetrosyl trade lacquer, .

MGF fuel pump replacement
Easy to fit, the electrical connector is a direct fit. For the fuel connection just heated the plastic pipe with a heat gun on the defective pump, then secured using supplied jubilee clip. Hey presto, refitted assembly to the MGF, car started first turn of ignition key.

The Devil Rides Out
Well, it's a late 1960s Hammer film, typical of the period, it has much in common with another classic Hammer film of the same period, Quatermass and the Pit. Both films, by modern standards lack special effects and bling, but rely on the all important story line. They both play on the mind, are atmospheric and evil is made all the more apparent by inference than out and out flashy special effects. This makes it more effective, a bit like a Norse saga told around an open hearth fire on a cold and windy night. This film is based upon the Denis Wheatley novel, set in the 1930s and is fairly true to the novel. The time period in the film isn't strongly stated, the clothing style and 1930s sports cars (Bentley 4.5 litre etc) are the give aways. Bottom line, this is a classic British horror film of the 1960s, well worth watching and placing in you classic collection.
