WELL IT DEPENDS ON THE MAN DOING IT THEY BOLTH NEED THE SAME PREPERATION LEVELS
I DECIDED AGAINST SPRAYING MY WD11 WOLSELEY BECOUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF NOOKS AND GRANYS FINS ECT TO RUN THE RISK OF OVERSPRAY
UNDERSPRAY AND RISK OF RUNNS AND MORE PAINT SEEMS TO GO OVER EVERTHING ELSE TOP TO BOTTOM OF SHEDS SO YOUR PAYING TO PAINT YOUR TOOLS SHELFS AND WINDOWS ECT ECT
P.S DONT FORGET TO PRIME INSIDE THE BLOCK WATER JACKET BEHIND THE FLAT SQUARE PLATE AS THE CASTING OR THINEST DOWN THERE
AND A RUST TRAP TOBOOT
I WILL HAVE A LOOK IN MY WOLSELEY PARTS BOX SEE IF I HAVE ONE FROM THE DONNER ENGINE I HAD
WILL MESSAGE YOU IF I FIND ONE 2 DAYS MAX AFTER THAT YOUR OUT OF LOOK
THANKS KEV

Re: wolsley wd
I'm spray painting mine because of the fins on the head but it's taking for ever as I'm doing it outside and the weather is always agianst me.
Sorry can't help with the gib key, just a thought are they the same size as the Ruston PT? anyone know? jsut if they are it gives you more options to find one. Only other thing if find a larger one and file it down to fit.
