DT1 MX project

I really liked the way it looked on the DT flat tracker, so I glass beaded the cases.

Also as with the flat tracker, I tapped the transmission vent to 1/8" NPT to use a metal fitting in place of the stock plastic push-in vent.

I left the three blind plugs in place, since they were in good shape, and that area can be cleaned from the inside. The paint stripper didn't hurt them, and a taped over them for the bead blasting, although the glass beads just bounce off of rubber anyway. One thing I found the Rust-Oleum paint stripper worked great for was removing the left over case sealant between the two case halves.
