^ MEK to remove spray bomb black off a fan shroud?

If so, I’m going to try that too. Thanks!

They no longer make MEK. They have what is called MEK substitute. I have not tried it to date but will soon as I am now out of all my old MEK stockpile.

Photos 281 - 282 - Original calipers before teardown and cleaning. Cleaning was like many of my previous cleanings. Citrus degreaser then soaking in Evaporust. Then coat with RPM or Rust Veto or alike. Currently I am using up my RPM as it seems to work very well.


Photo 283 - Results of bracket line brackets and lines after cleaning. These are original finishes. Nothing was rezinc'd or refinished.


Photos 284 - 286 - Calipers after cleaning. I did have to buy new pad pins as the originals were MIA as noted in previous photo as someone had installed a nail in place of one of them in the cars past. I will have to send these out as 2 of the 8 bores are pitted so stainless sleeves will be needed. Note black paint still present on the rears of the calipers.

Who are you using to sleeve the calipers?

Haven’t decided. White Post Restorations currently has the master cylinder (they received it on 5/6) and I’m waiting for it to come back. Depending on turn around I’ll probably use them but it’s $320 per caliper (4 piston) plus shipping. I’ve used them in the past with good results so I have no experience with any other company. Maybe someone else can chime in on their experiences with someone else?

Figured I'd update this thread since its been a few months.

Photo 287 - 289 - Finally got the master back from White Post and I assembled the components.

Next I decided to bounce back and clean up the cowl panel & wiper transmission.

Photo 290 - 291 - Panel & linkage before cleaning.

Photo 292 - 295 - After cleaning, Meguiars #7, wet sanding with 2K, Meguiars 105 & 205, and Meguiars #7 again.

Photo 296 - 298 - screws, squirters and cowl seal added after they were cleaned.

Photo 299 - 302 - Lastly are details on the wiper transmission linkage after cleaning.
