I'm doing this thing, now...

Someone here said, "it's right there in your hand", talking to someone about the 212 on their minibike. Well, this was right here in my hand.. I have sandpaper...

Anyway-

AI tells me if I wear out approximately 3-5 sheets of 220, I should be around 10 thousandths. Is that a safe assumption?

That's with sanding and rinsing the paper.

Gotta say, the marker gets rubbed off in seconds. Didn't expect it to go this quick. It rubs off evenly and it's not leaving deep scratches. Eventually, the sandpaper quits cutting and starts polishing, I feel the paper is done then.

Any reason I should take the valves out? Probably too late to ask that now but...

I also have 400-600-800 to finish it up with.

Am I ok with using all the 220 first THEN moving onto the finer stuff? -Or should I use the finer stuff after I wear out a sheet of 220?


I also switched to 'hot gluing' the sandpaper rather than the failed duct tape attempt.

Waiting on tires for a 2014 Ford Mustang GT with the Gutbag 6 speed manual. Waiting on tires for it, might be 3 days. Way more fun to drive than the Focus ST we had like a year ago. Only has 36k miles on it. My dealership is asking like $24k for it. Way over priced in my opinion. Maybe $16k would be reasonable.

We had sent it to our Ford store because the rear diff was super noisy. We couldn't decide if it was the pinion bearing or the diff carrier bearings that decided to go, was very noticeable while downshifting. The dingus that did the rebuild never said what it needed or what he replaced.
