I assure you that wasn't what Eddie wanted. He pushed me to powder coat them our have them sprayed and I told him to "rattle can" them as they will not be seen. I am surprised you were impressed though........

The merc black rattle can paint looks a million bucks....... Until you touch it with anything, it scratches off real easy. I did an outboard mounting bracket with the stuff, it looked as good as that inner transome plate until I went to fit it!

What are you going to do about extending the input shaft 4" ????
I have Stelling boxes on my AT and the engines are moved forward a foot. My set up uses a rear plate for the mount. Mine uses the normal splined Stelling shaft and that inserts into a splined driveshaft extension.

But that's ok. The customer gets what they want.As mentioned, not my first choice. We sanded it with 80 grit to give it some tooth. Then we primed it with an etching primer and painted it with Krylon Fusion. For a rattle can, it's pretty good stuff.
