George any ideas on this would be appreciated.
at the last minute I decided that I had to go to Grand Rapids MI, right
past John Twist's shop. I didn't have time to disconnect my carbs from my
1974 1/2 MGBGT to take with me for the badly needed rebuild so I got a
local mechanic to come by last night and remove the necessary bits. When
I got to Twist's I realized that the mechanic had packed only the carbs
and not the linkages and other fixtures. When I got back tonight I found
them balancing on the valve cover. Now the question - does anyone know of
something that these parts could be soaked in to make them look "like
new" ! I have heard that TOMATO KETCHUP works very well! anyone got any
ideas!

PS John is doing very well after his surgery.
