Yes it is a sickness; and I believe other World members have it. I went so far as to transfer the stickers and felt bad from my broken fan housing to the new one. Only I will know.
Inspired by the crew here, I spent more hours than I should have on my blower. Though a hidden part, I am happy with my results. I started with my original system paired with a donor system I purchased several years ago. I used Easy-Off to remove most all of the overspray, followed by a combination of 1000, 2000, Autsol, and Magic Eraser. New 914 Rubber seals and plated hardware finished if off.

If your sending your bits out for plating. Make sure they get baked.
Spring steel needs to be baked to keep from getting brittle. Seems my batches are inconsistent at being baked so I'm going to make sure I request it next time I have springs in the batch. I haven't had one of the c clips break yet. But I've heard stories. |
