I too strain through nylon stockings, with never a problem. The good thing is they stretch over the can, so that when decanting paint into the gun pot, the lumps never leave the can.

That speaks for itself… Lumps in the can? Egad!

Very likely the problem! Don’t do that! Your automotive paint store will give you a pile of proper strainers for free when you buy your paint & primer.

Re: Driving plate tailshaft failed rivets

I see a lot of speculation here. I’ll add something that hasn’t been mentioned yet. The holes are really ovaled out badly. In order to get ovaled out that bad, the rivets and shaft had to be loose for quite some time. It likely was not a sudden failure. It is possible that drive plate could have bee...

They have extra holes in them that appear to be in a larger circle. Not sure what someone was thinking when they did this.

The larger radius allows it to gently bend & flex so vibration and engine to frame flex are less likely to break it.

BTW, your transmission cover is upside down. V goes down to drip on the band centers.
N/A if you have a screen.
