New source for detail photos, including decals

There is a member (OldGPW) on G503.com/forums, who recently posted about a G506 two unit pack manual. He posted a couple of photos I'd never seen in a manual before. When I inquired about photos showing details like decals, etc, he has been happy to oblige. You can see some of the scans here:

One overhead engine compartment shot clearly shows a decal on the oil bath air filter (too grainy to make out details), and two (2) decals on the oil filter, identical to the "late" set being sold by Paul. Also of note are the obvious different colors of accessories, including the oil fill tube, air cleaner, oil filter brackets, horn etc. The engine (valve cover at least) seems to be a color somewhere in the middle... perhaps OD or most certainly a darker grey then the oil filter housing.

Another shot shows detail of the hydrovac vacuum hose, boldly printed with "Bendix" spiralling around the length of the hose. Scroll down on this pic, and you'll see the "early" round oil filter decal... Interestingly, BOTH pics show the presence of a small valve cover crankcase breather cap, which appears to be centered along the length of the valve cover.

You gotta love the details!
