Today I cleaned up the top front RACP points and sprayed with the e-coat matched enamel I have.

First up I masked the area around the mount (photo taken prior to clean up).

Then I used a ziploc bag as a miniature spray booth by taping it to both the RACP and the spray can. I also made sure to cover/block every other hole/exit point in the RACP so I didn't get any over spray wafting out anywhere. This approach worked really well, the whole thing only took about 15 minutes to do.

And the end result (paint is still wet here):

I have some clean up to do on a few rust spots on the seat bench, but will do this once I have the A08 in hand and can touch it up properly.

At this point though the front mounts are ready for the installation of the brace (drilling and tapping will be done at the time of installation of the brace as I need to take the subframe off to tap the threads.

I've been going through the public XDF for the 0401 binary and sorting out some of the incorrect references. They're usually pretty easy to confirm by looking at whether the data makes sense. This one made me chuckle 😛

I've spun up a thread (https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/special-interests/coding-tuning/287069-csl-0401-program-binary-disassembly-notes) in the Coding section which I will keep updated as I work through the disassembly. Aim is to make the info easy to find and also splits it out from this build thread.
