Thanks Montana ! Damn! 35 bucks ? I might just try to use some large
Shock absorber grommets or something. By the way what is the name of the
Place you found em again ? I'm just not familiar with initials.

Impalaslayer and 76Highboy the paint I used on the transmission and Xcase
Was off the shelf , VHT engine enamel gloss black for the cases (iron) and for
The transmission shifter housing and the shaft bearing housings on both which
are (Aluminum) I used VHT high temp silver.
As for the axle housings /hubs / drag link etc...etc I used some two part chem
Resistant ceramic based stuff from work you have to mix , awesome stuff but my compresser won'tKeep up with the volume needed to shoot it with the paint gun I've got.
But the VHT drive line paint in the can off the shelf is basically the same stuff so I'll
Probably Be using that from now on. Now even the stuff out of the can has a high temp
Cure requirement of 200F for one hour to get the full effect of the paint but that's only
Doable on small parts unless you have one he'll of a big oven .
