R-R PIII - painted exhaust manifolds

The two exhaust manifolds - perspective causing the upper unit to look much smaller than its partner.  These manifolds are actually identical and interchangeable.

The lower fins of both manifolds have small chunks missing where they have been knocked or dropped over the years.  Note that the centre port has circular holes drilled to fix the manifold location whereas the outer ports are slotted to allow differential expansion against the head.

R-R PIII - painted rocker covers Two rocker covers gleaming and giving much satisfaction.  Final coats were in Hammerite Smooth spray.  This is the same finish as the cylinder heads so should look very tidy once assembled.
