The lug holes don't look too bad, however I will be drilling them out to 1.2mm. I'll be fitting the WSO gen-spec 2mm spring bars, they have polished end spring tips which is a nice touch. Picked up the dial next door: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=260313 The lume actually had a slightly cool tint to it, not really vintage, so I stained it with tea and did the same to the Yuki handset to match. I also gave the dial a light dusting of matt varnish. I was't happy with my first attempt at staining the lume on the hands, so had another bash at them.
