needed rebuilding, >>
Just didn't get around to commenting on this
yesterday<F> !!
I recall VERY distinctly my encounter with them
right after I became "Hortense's" Care-Giver a
long time ago.
I found paint on them BUT a lot peeled right off &
a fair amount still there but with curled edges.
I figured at the time, and still retain the
thinking that they were originally painted with
Black Oxide which DOES do as I found !!
This same sort of thing occurred with the SU Carbs
[in our case the application was BN-1]. A few
'parts' were supplied in Black Oxide which quickly
disappeared as it is "designed to do". Modern
examples that I am aware of are the MGB &
Spridgets' Fuel Tanks which ARE supplied in Black
Oxide including a note which says to the effect
the pieces are supplied with a "protective
coating" <G> !!!
