How To Make Rusty And Carbs Look New?


LLN260Z

Recommended Posts

I picked up a set of 240z su carbs. I was given the fuel lines too but they look soo rusty.

Where can I take them to get it looking better again. Prefer the carbs and mani to look good again as well.

Located in Craigieburn

Can be near Blackburn north during work hours.

To get the steel fuel rail refurbished, you'll have to have re-plated.

They look great Lurchos. Do they have a clear coat or something on them to give them protection against future oxidation.

 

I soda blasted mine in the back yard. They came up heaps better than they were but nothing like Lurch’s set. Only cost $7 or so in bicarb and 5 mins of my time though.

Water jet blasting sort of shot peens the surface so it's more resistant to oil impregnation etc.. So basically it cleans the surface nicely and then makes it more resilient against oil stains in future. Not sure about oxidation...

 

God I wish you didn't sell those 50's Lurcho's!
