Thanks Chronos. While I'm attaching the fins I might as well chuck in a few more.

Attached the disruptors this arvo. Used a lot of silicon to seal everything so I'll give it 24 hours to cure and give it a run tomorrow night. Thanks everyone for the advice so far.

Ran the tumbler today. I set out to run it for 2 hours. Checked after an hour and all was good. When I came back at 2 hours the nut on the motor driveshaft had come loose and the bucket was no longer turning. So it ran anywhere between 1 and 2 hours.

Not a great photo but the insides of the cases show majority cleaning with some residue still around flash hole.

Externally cleaned up well.

Primer pockets have begun to clean up but not fully there yet.

I'll use some thread locker on the driveshaft tomorrow and hopefully it won't come undone again. I think with a full 2 hour cycle the cases should clean up all the way.
