How do other people clean up their bolts? I don't have a sand blaster that will do the job and had too come up with a plan B. We had a cement mixer sitting here and I tried putting the hardware in the mixer with water and stone as an experiment. It may take a few hours but seems to work well. I rattle things around till the rust and paint are gone, wash up with water and soak the hardware in oil till I'm ready to prime and paint.

I use a rock tumbler I picked up at a garage sale.
Sand medium was good but I emptied out a couple of 12 gauge STEEL shotgun shells, not lead and that worked great and much faster than the sand. Different mediums are available I just used what I had.

Harry.

Nice find and very handy. Similar equipment is also available at gun shops for polishing up brass casings.

I have been working away on little bits and decided to see what the master cylinder and booster canister looked like. As Phil suggested, the booster internals where immaculate, the inside cleaned up with a scotch brit pad and there is no corrosion. Then the bonus round was the master cylinder, it has had a brass sleeve put into it.

Proper brake function is the number one priority for safety sake, for me. I may need some tutoring from you and Phil when I start to tune up the brake system. And, I'll try and remember to post more pictures for you.
