Position the drum as shown and smooth the three horizontal
surfaces with a file.
Identify any burrs on these castings, highlighted by the red circles
or red arrows, and remove them with wet and dry paper. Be
careful not to distort the points circled in blue, as these are used
during assembly.
Lay all the castings on cardboard and spray with metal primer.
When dry, spray again with gray paint.
