Hi, I hope I've posted this in the correct catagory as it's a bit out of the ordinary. I recently purchased a job lot of old SU carbs with the intention of sprucing them up and reselling them on Evil-bay.
This is my second attempt (I was so keen I forgot to take pics of the first one!!)
Once I stripped it all down I soaked the parts in warm water and a degreaser and gave them a good scrub. Once clean and dry I used All metal polish to achieve a great shine.
The parts were caked in about 50 years worth of crud.

Heres a 50/50 of the brass float (which will be hidden completely in the float chamber ).

Heres the completed float (and the only reflection shot I could manage!!)

This is a 50/50 of the float chamber.

This is the finished piece.

Many thanks for looking
Mark
