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.

Man, it now makes sense. When I was putting the springs on the drain tubes, post plating, I broke three of them. It is a good thing I had more plated than I needed because they snapped as I was compressing them. I suspected the metal had fatigued due to a combination of age and chemical treatment. Now I know is was "hydrogen embrittlement". The World is also a chemistry class it seems. For future plating I will certainly request the metal be baked.
