Hi To All,
Here are some pictures of a gear leaver and linkage that I have just finished.
I stripped all the old chrome off by dipping in Hydrochloric Acid (brick cleaner) and then used various scotch & abrasive dollies on a hand drill to polish up the stripped metal. I am pleased with the lever part as there were some deep marks that were got rid of !!
I then re Zinced the prepared parts, followed by another light polish and then fitted new rubber. I think that the lever has come up rather well
, I know that the zinc won't be as hard wearing as chrome but re chroming is getting expensive and I can always Re Zinc when it wears through.
COLIN.
